Water Issues

Too bad it's 40 degrees (4C) outside, otherwise I'm sure some neighborhood kids would be taking advantage of this fire hydrant gone wild. I saw a robin splashing around in the water, but it flew away before I could get a shot. I'm not sure what the deal is with this hydrant. It's been gushing water all day. The utility dept. came out, put a few orange cones in the road, and left. That's all I have for today...it's been a cloudy, unusually cold, lazy kind of day.

I hope your meter is not hooked up to this hydrant...could be an expensive month! Ha. Nice shot of the water and 40 degrees is too cold to play in it!

Great water-action shot! Love the rust-streaked yellow of the hydrant, too.

[Katrina Cristy]

Cool shot! Love how you can tell how fast that water is coming out from this photo! I hope it warms up for you guys soon!!

[Pamela Mandeville]

Seems like a waste of water! I love how the water looks, splashing, bubbles.... cool

Oooh last week here in texas that would have been great!

[Kerry M]

Great shot - hopefully you find the same scene this summer with tons of colorful bathing suited kids jumping around!

[Sheri Peterson]

Great water shot! You can really feel the power of the water gushing out of that hydrant.

[Christine Hamrick]

Nice composition and water capture. They do this where I live, too - something about flushing the system and making sure there's enough pressure. But I agree about the waste . . . seems like they could do something with it (like water city plants!!).

[Dora Prokosh]

Another great shot. You are really nailing the manual technique

[Emer Hyland]

great capture

[Paula Fontanini]

Excellent capture...now that's a watershot! They flush them around here too occasionally.
