Tap/Faucet

I posted this the other day.... someone rightfully informed me that

the image was too big, so here's a smaller version. Please look

around the rest of the folder, if you have the time.

What is it exactly? Can't quite work it out

.... in this country it's called a "tap". In others it's called a "faucet". Both of which are in the title.

Great "macro abstract" - the curtain of water kind of reminds me of a transporter beam from the Star Trek TV series. Nice use of color and lighting - "beam me up McSalty" :-)

... but I have to admit the photo was totally spurious. No tripod, no special lighting setup, Not even any reflectors. And the "transporter beam" is the reflection of evening UK sunlight off the tap/faucet.

 

BTW in the US are tap dancers called faucet dancers?
