Now how....

Down once again in Dunedin, I was filling in time wandering around a shopping centre. Looking through the window - this was in a gift shop and I just could not work it out! There is a stream of water coming down vertically and splashing into vessels below!

Thankful for : staying in the car while it rained a very chilly rain - down to 8degC

How cool is this!

[Richard Brown]

Very odd but a great image!

[Shutterbug]

Awesome, Rube Goldberg. Very nice.

[Maggiemae]

@shutterbug49 Is that the picture at the back?

[KWind]

Very clever!!

[Shutterbug]

@maggiemae No, it’s one thing falling into another that falls into another......

[julia]

I have seen something similar at the Water Park in Ngatea.. it is very clever .. I think a clear plastic pipe is involved..

[Louise & Ken]

haha...they succeeded in making you spend some time looking into their shop window!

[Maggiemae]

@shutterbug49 Just googled him and you must be right!

[gloria jones]

Cool image

[Maggiemae]

@julzmaioro Thats what hubby said too!

[bruni]

Now we figured where the water comes from. but where dose it goes once the two buckets are overflowing. ha ha. great picture. fav.

[Maggiemae]

@bruni Exactly - I should have gone inside to see the back of it!

[PhotoCrazy]

Wonderful!!

[Linda Godwin]

very cool!! is it an optical illusion??

[Maggiemae]

@rontu I stared at it so long, Linda but I think what @shutterbug49 said - a clever installation!

[Annie D]

love this
intriguing

[judith deacon]

How odd, great DOF.

[Marnie]

Golly whizz, I certainly had to look long and hard at this oddity. Very clever, bet it cost a bomb.

[bkb in the city]

Very cool

[Maggiemae]

@golftragic I wish I'd gone inside and asked.

[Lou Ann]

So cool! Yes there’s a clear hose in the water. How fun to look at.

[Lesley Chisholm]

How very cool.

[Taffy]

So fascinating! Its water appears to come from nowhere!

[Sue Rose]

Looks very intriguing. Nice interesting shot.

[Babs]

Very clever, what a great find.

[Diana]

Stunning shot of this great find, i would have loved to go and take a closer look.

[Maggiemae]

@ludwigsdiana Yes, that's true, Diana - maybe our photographic minds could have found the solution!

[Dianne]

A great display!

[Casablanca]

That is super - I adore indoor water features

[Yolanda]

Very cool! Fantastic.FAV

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I know how they do this- it's really quite clever! Hubby and I always wanted to put one in a garden but have never gotten around to doing it. Julia is correct- there is a clear pipe that is inserted into the spout. The water is cycled through tubing hidden inside the containers. The water is not coming out of the spout in reality but it looks like it is because the tubing is clear. Fun shot!

[Nina Ganci]

very clever, and does boggle the mind just looking at it

[Pat Knowles]

A complete mystery maggiemae....clever when you read the explanation though! Simple when you know how!

[Maggiemae]

@olivetreeann I can see it now looking at my original photos, Ann! Thank you!

[haskar]

Very cool
