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?
