  Very refreshing looking, Les. I love the exuberance and energy you have captured here and the way the water spray creates softens the lines of the building and lets us see it as if through a veil. Great MT entry!

  Shame on you, Les, for hiding this one for so long. It's so dynamic, and the photographic tension created with the children in the back is wonderful!
