Water Fountains I love public water fountains on a hot summer day. They are so refreshing to look at and to get that occasional spritz when the wind changes directions.

This fountain always brings back one of my first memories ever when I walk by it. I remember being here with my family when I was very little. "I saw a woman with major Hammer pants on the subway a few weeks ago and totally thought of you." - sextonseven | |
