10. Metamorphosis Fountain, Charlotte, USA
Fountains don’t get any wilder than this behemoth located in the US city of Charlotte. Consisting of two dozen reflective stainless steel plates that rotate independently, this fountain weighs 14 tons and stands almost 25 feet high. Every so often all the plates line up to form a perfectly-shaped human head. The fountain is the work of Czech sculptor David Černý.
