LOVE Park Goes Green in Philadelphia (Evening Experimental)

These were a number of projects I'd been wanting to get to, but everything got screwed up for me. So, I decided to make the most of my time, since my body was suffering from exhaustion... so, I just headed into Center City, and decided to just let myself go wherever... 

I was thinking Fairmount Park... But, no idea what, nor where... and since I had NO CAR The Plateau was out of the question, PLUS my friend bailed on me, so I couldn't do Plateau nor The Morris Arboretum like I wanted... but, that's how the cookie crumbles... *shrugs*  

So, since I noticed that LOVE Park was FRIGGIN' GREEN I thought I'd do an eveing shoot on the way back... needless to say there were SO many friggin' people at LOVE PARK, MORE than normal! For crying out loud, it's September, AND a week-night! I didn't even see that many folks there on a Saturday night IN THE SUMMER! 

It's because the WATER IS FRIGGIN' GREEN! 

There were taxis just droppin' people off to see the GREEN! AND, they're just hang out! I'm not talkin' skaters & stoners! NO, I mean, like ANYONE! EVERYONE! 

So.... anyways... I experimented with anything that came to mind on this one! 

 

LOVE Park Goes Green in Philadelphia

I'm actually pretty confused about WHY specifically the water was GREEN, and when I say GREEN I mean, that sucker was GREEN! Like green Kool-aide!

I was actually in the City a few days before I shot these, and there was just NORMALLY colored water, when I shot a whole project at Logan Square which I also had to pass by on the way to, and on the way from.

So, when I researched it online, with varying news article citing different dates, and reasons... According to local Philly news articles, they seem to be reporting it was ALL ABOUT the Philadelphia Eagles... by that I mean the Football team! :)
(American Football)

Now, I shot this on September 12th, and I'd also heard it had something to do with 9/11 (September 11th).

Whatever the actual reason is, I'm unclear... but, HEY, the water is friggin' GREEN!!!!
