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!!!!

I was REALLY looking forward to THIS Photoshoot! After ALL those storms we had this week, I figured this would be great!
But, alas, once I got there, it looked like a drought! WHAT???
After all those floods I trudged through every morning just to get to work, then THIS?
Even as I write this, there's a massive storm & floods everywhere today! But, on Saturday, THIS is what was there.
Dought-looking trickles!

LOVE Park in Philadelphia

Yeah, I did a quick photoshoot in Philadelphia last Sunday morning.

I was shooting for the yahoo Weather App/Project Weather.

I used a blue gradient filter in these to help enhance the sky colors, and the clouds.

 The really nice homeless man shot some photos of me. He kept insisting to, but I didn't have any money.

I've been on a diet all summer.
