Dispatch Photo: WaterWorld Cup

It’s been a while since the Columbus Dispatch featured a barefoot person in their about-town photographs. But they finally had another one yesterday.

Sea World Cup | Tesla Sarkar, 8, of Bexley, tries to shoot a beach ball around his mother, Ricarda, in an imprompty soccer game in a fountain at Capital University. Tesla and 6-year-old sister Curie were on a walk with their mother and dog near their home yesterday when the fountain beckoned as a cooling soccer pitch.

Okay, it’s not as if they were walking around town barefooted, and water is awfully conducive to taking off one’s shoes. But still, it’s something.
