Observations

  • 1 September 2018

    Uppsala, Sweden by Korice Moir

    Old houseboats docked along side the river. Ducks swimming up to the dock checking things out. Who's this testing in our water? It was windy, and rained earlier in the day. Spotted a fish ladder further upstream. There's an election going on, so also noticed some green messaging on campaign signs. The most fun? Watching a young boy and his family 'fishing' in the river with a large magnet on a string, swinging it around like a lasso, and pulling out a rainbow coloured bicycle. Didn't expect that. :)

    Stockholm waterfront by Korice Moir

    A few lily pads and reeds, and some murky water, along waterfront wall. Lots of ferry boats in Stockholm's harbour. People jumping in off the dock on small island nearby. Swimming in a large urban harbour can be (is being) done!
