T.I.L.T. urban spray

T.I.L.T. urban spray
(view the large or the original size to be completely doused.)

baltimore heat
mixed with early school closings
are the ingredients for the
uncapping of a corner fire hydrant.

all of this watery goodness
took place right across the street
from the school.

i kicked off my shoes and
i ran up three flights of stairs
to grab my camera
once i realized where the water in the
gutter was coming from.

i ran up to the corner
along with shorties
and parents
and was in photography heaven.

  6. absolutely beautiful photos. sometimes I feel as if my world is growing small, but stumbling onto this delight gave me a wonderful contrast to my life on the beach where the ocean is always available...uh, minus the times of post rain street run-off and the unfortunate occasional sewage spill... ;)

  8. What an incredible photograph! It's possible to feel the power of the water surging from the hydrant, as well as the blessed relief from sweltering temps! I hope you plan on submitting this pic to some contests - bet it would win some nifty prizes!
