Something Fishy

Close up macro of a water-spewing fish on a fountain at the Kennywood amusement park. Many people simply walk past this charming fountain on their way to the Exterminator, Pittsburgh Plunge or Phantom’s Revenge, but I always stop to enjoy the novelty of it. Got some strange looks from people while hanging halfway into the fountain to get this close to the little fish.

    Just a suggestion, but Kennywood Park has just gotten a new CEO, maybe you could share this capture with the powers to be, maybe they’ll consider using it in some new promo work?

    Thanks for submitting this to the 500+ viewings club and congratulations – you are our first member! I just have a request. Would you mind placing the number of views it has had either with the title or in the first line of your description? It makes it easier for us to see and to make sure the image satisfies our group rules.
    Thanks
    Adrian
