A very unusual fountain picture, Gerda! Water around center looks almost like the flame from a gas stove!

  I really does look like a blue flame coming from a stove, Gerda, and the spray over the sides is very unusual. Very nice detail and capture.
Aloha,
Stan

  Nice one Gerda! It reminds me of a large Icelandic poppy flower with that black center.

  Thank you very much, Leanne, Mette, Claudia and Stan, for your kind comments! I think that the slow shutter speed caused by the low light and the fact that I was looking down at the fountain combined to give the fountain the look it has in this image.

  Thank you very much, Linnea! That fountain is one of my favourite fountains in Toronto. It puts on a continuous display of various fountain "tricks".

  Thank you so much again, Susan. I'm a bit of a fountain freak, and I really like that particualr fountain. It has a really nice repertory of tricks, one of which is a quick, narrow high, thrust of water that reaches about 3 storeys above its own height. It does that 3 times in quick succession about every 15 minutes.
