Summer Tubing on the Comal River — Carol M. Highsmith

Carol M. Highsmith captures the carefree atmosphere of a Texas summer as visitors enjoy the water at Prince Solms Park on the Comal River in New Braunfels. A whimsical red-and-white mushroom fountain spills a curtain of water into the pale turquoise pool while swimmers drift nearby on colorful inner tubes.

Photographed from above, the scene becomes a playful study of color, movement, and summertime recreation. Brilliant reds and yellows stand out against the softly colored water, preserving a lively moment from one of Texas’s popular warm-weather traditions.
