summer in the city

I took this photo during last weekend's Detroit International Jazz Festival. The setting was the Noguchi Fountain in Hart Plaza, at the epicenter of all the music and activity. For the children of jazz fans, I'd venture to say the most popular "stage" on those warm sunny days was the fountain itself. And, believe me, if Sassy my scooter could have handled it, I would have been right down there with them!

I see that Sassy swings again at the Jazz festival ;-) A very good exposure and composition.

Absolutely wonderful. You have captured the moment so well without a lot of detail. Great work.

This is a very good picture. The pose is somewhat reverent and speaks of wonderment and awe to me. My first thought was of Icarus, whose flight close to the boiling sun, cost him his wings and his life. A winner here, I think. ~Voted~

Dramatic and at the same time, touching. Good choice on the B&W.
