Primary Colors?

Not kindergarten primary colors, but Patriotic, U. S. A. election primary colors of red, white and blue (ok, it's a stretch...)

My pop was visiting from AZ and we went into Chicago for a weekend to visit the old stomping grounds. One thing he wanted to do was get to Buckingham Fountain for the night, light show. I had no tripod, so I was leaning the camera against the little wire fence that surrounds the fountain (Ellen, Mary Lou, you know which one). Little kids kept banging it (from around the other side, but it still made the fence vibrate...)  This was one of my better efforts, cleaned up a bit in Topaz DeNoise and PS.

  6. Gosh, I haven't seen that at night for a zillion years! That is some tricky things to shoot any time especially at night. Great result.
