I love this photograph very much, especially the blue shade of the water.

COOLING OFF

• OPINION: During the hot Summer months there is more violence of every kind. Murders, rapes, fights, arguments, shootings, and violent protests. The blood runs hot. Tempers flare up. Emotions are intensified and thinking is affected. Now, due to Climate Change, temperatures are higher and for longer periods of time. Cities need places where people can go to water features to 'Cool Off'. When violence begins at protests and other crowded gatherings, the Fire Department needs to be called - not the Police who will cause even more anger and violence. The Fire Department should aim their water hoses up in the air, so cool water will rain down on everyone. If someone is absolutely determined to be violent, well then, they will get a full blast of water from fire hoses - not guns.
