Politically Incorrect "Friendship of Nations" Fountain

Temperature; +24C Wind ; 7.5 m/sec Rain; None


THINGS THAT WENT WRONG;


a. Smoke from shashlyks and kebobs made air unbreathable
b. I was forced to kick off quite a few people off the way to make a shot
c. Lens cap fell from the pocket and ended up in fountain
e. Accidental blast of wind covered me and camera with splashes of water all over
f. Didn't notice that I wetted pants in groin area against the fountain and then sustained endless sarcastic gigles

Nikon D300
1/800s f/7.1 at 16.0mm full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Sounds like an adventure in capturing this image. I really like the superb clarity and vibrant colors with the lighting. A most interesting decor for this unique fountain. V+

When you were young Eldar, you are young.
Get some in. That is an old English army saying.

You wouldn't believe how well I understand you. When I was young, the sounds of fountain water sometimes created an immediate urge, which not necessarily always ended up in the same fountain...

I always use the fountain excuse for wet pants as well.
Just wish we had some fountains about.
