'Summer' fun Photo

Photographer’s Note

Inspired by Daniel's Only Two Months Ago photo I decided I'd do the same as soon as I saw this shot. Yesterday a friend and I spent an hour or more at Piccadilly Gardens (big fountains in the centre of the city) in Manchester and this is my favourite.

It's in direct contrast to Jumping off taken at the same place about six weeks ago.

So far I'm loving this warmer weather...

hi, Lewis. Good photo. I like framing, i like background, i like handsome boy, i like water hitting bottle and foaming on asphalt. Remembered me my deep childhood when in early spring me and my friends went out with hot water bottles and "melted" snow drifts (i'm from Siberia) coz we wanted summer...haha...was no chance to melt at least one...but was so fun....thaks for good memories :).
