no coins in the fountain by summerfield

no coins in the fountain

only a lazy pigeon and...what's that? a human?!?!

an also-ran from yesterday's roaming around the downtown core after our lunch at the st. lawrence market.

busy day at the "office" as i continue to deal with my departed boss' files and clients, transfers, etc. my movement is hindered by the knee's flare up. i was fine from last saturday until this morning when i had a rather normal walk. then suddenly before lunch time, when i stood up to get a drink, boom! the pain was just excruciating, just like that. my doctor called me in the afternoon and she kept blurting out what was wrong with my knee, which i couldn't understand as it sounded russian or swahili to me. she gave me a couple of specialists numbers and told me i should have a physiotherapy. this business of growing old doesn't suit me, you know!
perhaps the dip in the fountain will cure the knee? Are you familiar with our story about the fountain of youth?

Very clever composite that should really be entered in composite-48 challenge

@grammyn - sadly it is not a composite. it is more like a forced perspective shot. i did not notice the person walking towards the fountain.

@summerfield i looked at it on the compouter and thought you had put yourself in the fountain. I should have looked more closely! Spectacular to to get that appearance naturally!

oh wow, impressive! I thought you edit this, but it is a person walking behind this water fountain.

The fountain is lovely and I like the pigeon and person sitting and enjoying it. Sorry to hear about your knee. Ask the doctor's office to write down what the doctor diagnosed your problem as and then look it up (Google) to get a better idea of what is going on.

The fountain framing the woman is so cool. I hope that your knee gets better.

I see two people and for life of me cannot see a pigeon!!! Sorry about your knee, didn't someone say growing old isnt to sissies!? You aren't a sissy,

Great capture with the fountain and surroundings . Hope you can soon get some relief from your pain.

I empathise with your story concerning your knee - how frustrating. Hope some physio will improve things for you. I enjoy the way you framed the woman here.
