Pineapple Tuesday

Pineapple Fountain, Waterfront Park, Charleston, SC  © Doug Hickok


Here is another stylized version of the Southern hospitality pineapple. This one takes the form of a fountain featured in Waterfront Park, a pleasant greenspace overlooking Charleston Harbor. Although it appears to have the spiny horns of a triceratops from the Cretaceous Period, this is misleading. It is, in fact, a man made fountain of the Quaternary Period.

    Very interesting, Doug! It seems to me a very unusual form of architecture to be found in SC.

    The shot is awesome!

    does it spout pinapple juice, too? (this was a "silly tuesday" question, of course, nothing more!) cool looking fountain, and nice milky effect on the water!

    Like how the water and the moon are the same hue. I long to see Charleston again.

    Whatever geological period it came from Doug it still makes for a great pic in your discerning hands.

    Oh, my! I would love to learn how to adjust the settings on my camera to take such a wonderful photo. I love Franz's comment about pineapple juice!

    Lush colors and nice depiction of the water's motion. The tiny moon is a nice touch.
