   At very first glance, I thought this was an image of some sort of celestial phenomenon. “A galaxy far, far away…” I enjoy the way your photos sometimes deceive me.

   @CSK: I kind of like that initial response.

   Out of curiosity, what kind of device were you viewing it on (sizewise?).

   A laptop with a 12-inch screen.

   City play fountains. Expensive, yes. But probably the biggest dollar per child-joy-unit payback you can get, at least in summer.

   @Steven L. Taylor:
   I clicked on the image to get a closer look, so the photo size went from 2×2 1/2 to 3×5 inches.

   The three water jets in the foreground could be comets.

   The small town I live near too put in a water park for the kids a couple years ago. It runs 24/7 from late spring thru early summer. Was talking with some folks about it and one complained about the homeless* using it for bathing late at night. I pointed out that homeless folks need to be clean too and asked why did they care as long as the HL were discreet (they’d have to be in that location) and didn’t leave a mess. After some hemming and hawing they alluded that maybe it was OK.

   * I live out in the sticks but there is a lot of public land and our homeless population is much larger than one would expect.
