Splash!

Visited the Kenwood Cove Water Park today to shoot peopled images of the Byzantine smalti glass mural designed by me! Wonderful to enter the wave pool, and float near the mural wall. The lifeguard whistled me away from the wall however- perhaps when the waves occur there may be someone who bumps their head? We swam the "lazy river" which has a current, circling the water park. We opted to go "tubeless" while hoards of people floated by. At one part of the part are a series of water slides, which looked like fun. I showered off the chlorine and the room smelled of lotion and dampness.
Yet I remember being little and being very scared of the long wooden slides at Steeplechase. I think I tried it once. I remember the "picnics" that my father's workplace offered to employees. A whole day at Steeplechase. I went wild. Funny mirrors, a caterpillar ride that had a top that came over the length of the cars, riding a swing that people sat in slings which were bound by centrifugal force so the arc of the circle became larger. And bountiful cups of vanila ice cream- I took a pack on the Ferris Wheel, while my sister and my father rode the parachute ride- which often got stuck at the top.


Earlier today I took some supermacro photos; but wasn't able to shoot for long.

Progress on the building continues. As I write the sheetrock envelope is being installed. I look forward to using joint compound!
