Another David Cerny sculpture.

'The idea is disarmingly simple. Two bronze sculptures pee into their oddly-shaped enclosure (a map outline of the Czech Republic). While they are peeing, the two figures move realistically. An electric mechanism driven by a couple of microprocessors swivels the upper part of the body, while the p*enis goes up and down. The stream of water writes quotes from famous Prague residents. Visitors can interrupt them by sending SMS message from mobile phone to a number displayed next to the sculptures (+420 724 370 770). The living statue then ‘writes’ the text of the message, before carrying on as before.'

Thanks, I just wish my travel tripod was a little taller. Although, the silhouetted people do add some context to the shot.

I think the people add a lot. It would have still been good without them but I think it's better with.

My son's first backpack trip last weekend. He was pretty spent here. Such a nice night and he did great!

Thanks! It was pretty straightforward.
I had the camera on a tripod (yes, I brought a tripod backpacking

)
I composed and waited for this particularly "sparky" wood to emit a burst of sparks. The breeze was shifting and this one was blowing them right at me. I hit the shutter release for a 5s exposure and that was that. It took 3 or 4 tries to get the timing and amount of sparks right. This one was the keeper of that batch.
5s, f/8, ISO 800

Your son did a great job of sitting still. I was trying to figure out if you used a flash to isolate him.
