Artwork Description:

* size for uploading purpose only collection of Fontana water fountains at the Ciciv center of Fontana.. day was 105 degreees.. had to go to bank... to pay a bill.. last day.. so could not delay.. heat.. intense.. but had to go.. on way back.. eyes locked on to water fountains on other side.. thought immeditely struck. ..". heat expands.. things.. changes movements.. and appearances.. no matter, if controlled.. once hits air free.. that's IT.. plus the weight of fall... same yes.. but not in form when in such extreme temp conditions.. just think.. in coldest of winters.. falling water freezes.. it connects from top to ground.. in ongoing movement.. same in heat..(or other more 'normal' considerred temps) .. hmmm. .. crossed the street and found myself watching, how the water gathered on top.. flat.. exposed to heat.. and fell down in even sheets on all four square shaped sides.. and there came off and on this breeze.. well.. mentioned those before.. their magic causing effects.. the grasses still showed green through the layers of water streams.. also the copper like in color base showed through.. not as strong in bright as at sunsets.. but.. the dark, produced other reds and blue tones.. with the green in light fromsurrounding close by grass areas... the light in color building of Lewis Library and Technology center effected light too.. the darkest pine trees nearby.. colored cars and traffic lights behind me.. . and then.. the gushes of dancing. often whipped water streaks, forming abstract images.. Everything was set... all I needed, was to wait for the breezes to let the waters dance.. and the off and on surges of water from the top .. regulating water flow.. almost 'evenly'.. ... smiling... stayed about an hr. when the cell rang.. and voice said in my ear:' what are you doing in this heat.. being out and taking photographs'.... well. i was aware of chances of heat stroke.. etc. etc.. I explained.. but somehow.. wass not convincing enough.. and yes.. all of a sudden my body noticed.. the intensity of heavy heat.. alerting voice inside started getting so insisting.. .. walked home slowly.. not taking ride.. cooled off in between at Stater Brothers.. continued walking taking advantage of shade from trees.... while checking one image by one on screen of camera.... till I arrived at the door.. where I live.. Yupp.. went straight on computer.. downloaded the pix.. ... what else?..! ..
