Year of the Dragon

Huge bucket of water consumes Jack

July - Matt Hobbs

Image of water being dropped from a great height onto my 7-year-old son. There's so much water infact barely anything else can be seen in the photo, just a mass of water droplets!
In July, we travelled to the south of France. Sérignan to be exact. The kids had an excellent time! While I just melted in the 36-degree heat!

Beach in the morning, then the water park in the afternoon (with slides!). In one area of the park, there's a giant tower that sprays water everywhere. On the top, there's a large bucket that gradually fills up over 2 minutes 28–32 seconds (yes, I timed it. I am that sad!). Then once full, it dumps the entire contents onto anyone who happens to be standing below it.

The result of which can be seen in the photo. Within the photo, you should just be able to make out a shadow to the right of centre. That happens to be Jack, my 7-year-old son, who was obsessed with the whole water park all week, but his favourite area was this one!
