Actually its not water at all, it is andalusian mountain goat excrement gathered in Torcal de Antequera located in the Sierra del Torcal mountain range. These goats survive mainly on 7-Eleven slurpies for sustenance which renders their urine blue.
hahahahahahahaha … mark its your worst nightmare
ps i dont like this one
put up the overhead view one its my favorite
… and no charlie .. they have magic water over in peterborough
Well actually joel what your looking at is jello particals suspended by fishing lines to give the impression that they are large globules of blue tinted water splashing away from the âtennis ballâ which is of course not a tennis ball at all but rather a cardboard cut out digitally enhanced in post production to look like a tennis ball. All in all this photo took about two years to create and was shot in a small village on the Juan FernĂĄndez Islands. The local residents would come out everyday and help string jello particals for six hours while i drank piña coladas and lay on the beach.
Seriously thought…no one has satisfactorily addressed the blue water issue. I get the whole “magician never reveals” business if that’s what you’re going for but that water looks far too delicious to be either goat piss or jello. I could buy the “magic” argument, but only if I believed that Lisa had been to Narnia and thereby had any experience whatsoever of that phenomenon; clearly more research will be necessary to divulge whether the blue water circumstance is the result of evidence-tampering for dramatic effect, natural processes, or magical unicorn power. Furthermore there are yet more questions to be answered of the mysterious blue fluid other than its nature. Is it really as delicious as its blue raspberry colouring would suggest? Was that tennis ball clean enough that I wouldn’t feel gross drinking of the blue elixir after this photo was taken? Did you really spend this much time preparing these conditions so that the viewer would feel this thirsty?
The photo was designed by Dr. Edgar Hemroids Hassleback during the Cold War after the discovery that blue colored drink sales were declining. At the time all blue colored drinks were held in a monopoly by the Soviet Union. Once this information became public it started the decline and eventual boycott of blue drinks. Angered by Russiaâs blue drink monopoly President Kennedy ordered an immediate resurgence of âall American blue colored beveragesâ. This photo was one of many propaganda photos ordered by the president himself to, as you put it yourself, quench the viewers thirst. The raw power of this images ability to make one thirsty single handedly won the cold war. Americans bought the new American blue drinks and the Russian economy, crippled by lack of blue drink sales, fell. As for the taste of the liquid itself, donât get to excited⊠its food coloring and water garnished with an overly used tennis ball. In truth I donât know what inspired me to throw a tennis ball into mysterious blue colored water but I blame Zach since the idea came about during a tennis discussion with him.
This is possbily better and demanding of more comments than the first one!
I second this – MUCH moreso! Cool pic Mark, very swell. đ
What? Does that water have food coloring in it!? Water doesn’t look like that!
