Isn’t it interesting to see how people – of all ages – are drawn to water? Turn on a fountain in the middle of the city on a summer’s day and they’ll be tempted to jump in.

This water installation at the South Bank by Danish artist Jeppe Hein is called the Appearing Rooms. Rooms are being created by water shooting into the air and then suddenly disappearing. The challenge is to change rooms without getting wet. But as you can see in the last photo, not everybody manages to do so.
