That's easy to fix using the clone tool. I'd be more worried about the blown out fountain in the ULH corner--it's a bit disctracting to me. The horizon appears a bit tilted, too.

that's funny!!! The christmas blow up thing and the cars bug me more...guess I have taken so many photos with these fountains, I don't notice them as much.. I do know about the picture having different lines horizontially....unfortuantely I am fixing that in way too many photos!!! I have tried the cloning tool..it seems to not work as well as I thought...maybe I need to make the clone smaller...see if that works.

That's not a lens flare, it's a spirit orb...
