Huge Water Thing

This was one of the main attractions on Canada Day.

It was so cool that I thought it warranted it's own post.

Right near our place on the seawall is this little corner in the concrete where there is this line of pipes. They pretty much look like fire hydrants and I never knew what they were for. I assumed they had something to do with boats.



Apparently they are these high-pressure fire lines.

They must have some sort of use besides the obvious one of a water display, but if so I don't know what it is.

So this is how it starts out.

Do you think that's something? If so, hold on....













It gets bigger...













and bigger...did I mention my building is right in the background?












...and bigger, by this time from where we are, mist is hitting us.










Look at the mist coming down, there were boats and even a kayaker out there if you can believe it.

I took a video and the noise is pretty incredible too.








As we were walking it was still going, here it is from behind. Man what and ugly place Mike and I chose to live in.

I have to say Dad, I think his beats the hell out of that little fountain that guy you know came up with on the old bridge supports. lol

Cheers,
