Spout and Tower.

That would be the Black Mountain Tower and the Captain Cook Water Spout in Canberra, the National Capital of Australia. (No, Sydney is not the capital city of Oz.) Taken with the little Lumix FH2 the other day on my way home from work. The Spout is off more often than it's on, so I took advantage of the big wind creating that delicious veil.

Enjoy.

Mikel.

An excellent shot, Mikel! I like the geometric shapes and straight lines that you've composed here. You've also done a great job of capturing the feeling of a bright and windy day. Very nicely done!

Mikel, think that the 'veil' may be the reason that the Spout is more off than on. We have a comparable situation in my hometown. When it's windy, people are complaining that they got wet by the fountain.

Thanks for this fine image.

Nice timing! I enjoy your vantage point from the water catching the spray at a nice angle.

Hi, Mikel...

Now this is more like it. Not a single apple fractal in sight. That wind really does a number on the water spout and your timing was impeccable. The location of the flag attests to the wind speed and direction of the mist from the spout.

If Sydney is not the capitol of Oz, what is he capitol of Oz?
