the photo relates to physics because it shows potential energy of water. the photo also happens to be natural, for people naturally drink from water fountains all the time. and if that isn't enough of a reason to state it's natural, then i would also argue that water is floating in the air all the time! water floats in clouds, and in...
anyway, the water has potential energy, for it is in the air, ready to fall! not only does the water have potential, but also kinetic energy! for you see, the water is in motion, and therefore has kinetic energy. Also, as the water gets higher from the fountain, the potential energy increases, and the kinetic energy decreases. however, as the water begins to descend, the kinetic energy starts to increase, while the potential decreases.
there are also many unseen acts of physics in this photo, such as pressure, and work being done. However those are a lot less fun to talk about, so im not going to.
