The Lens-Artists Photo Challenge is a weekly challenge shared by four photographers who announce a new theme every Saturday. This week’s challenge is cooling.
I did not expect the Mile High City, Denver, Colorado, to be so hot the week following Memorial Day. Our first real visit to Denver was three days at the beginning of our road trip, which culminated in Route 66 on the way back. Anyway, the temperature must have been in the upper 80s the day we visited the capitol and 16th Street Mall. We walked this mall, which is basically a street closed to traffic but which crosses several intersections, which ended near Union Station. We wanted to see that, too, and on our way there found these fountains of water that several children were having fun running through.
What a perfect way to cool off on a hot 1st of June! 
Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge this week has the theme fountains, so this post is for both photo challenges.
Wanderlust & Wonderment 
This is something I have always wanted to do – run in those fountains – lucky cool kids!
Me too – but I wasn’t dressed for the occasion! 😀
Being a grown-up – I guess that is what is holding us back ;-D
Wonderful photos captures of kids running through water fountains. How fun! 🙂
Thank you, Amy! I felt like joining them!
Oh what fun are your fountains for this week. Wonderful photos.
Thank you, Cee!
Oh, the joyful faces of the children is priceless.
Wonderful selection for the challenge.
Great photographs ….
