Today was Water Day in the city; with various activities going on in/on the river.
Not quite sure how this game was supposed to be played (with goals at an angle rather than opposite each other) but the resting balls made a nice reflection...
Some of my followers may remember this sculpture in the river (Bodhi), but with the little boat next to it you get a better sense of its size than when just seeing it on its own.
There was also a swimming race going on. Here they come...
The sky was cloudy but it was not raining, and it was actually warmer (in the air) than it looks. Not sure about the water, though!

I well remember the bust in the water, but you're right - its size is much more evident with the boat for comparison.
ReplyDeleteWater Day sounds like a good idea to raise awareness of how important it is that we treat water as the treasure it is, if that is what's behind the celebration.
Yes I suppose that's the point. From an article in the newspaper today it seems that Water Day is a new event, although I know there have been swimming competitions etc in the river before.
DeleteWhat a lovely event! I do remember Bodhi very well. Good reflection of the goal and balls! I would for sure have gone to this!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea.
ReplyDeleteseems like a fun event. nice shots.
ReplyDeleteSo much to see there, um the goalposts above the water could be about water polo?
ReplyDeleteI suppose you're right Amy. As I was only passing and had no idea about the schedule for the day, I did not hang around to find out...
DeleteI never thought about swimmers in this water, I have seen those steps and the water over the years. I did not know just how big the statue is, now I do. love the ball reflection
ReplyDeleteSandra, there have been swimming competitions in the river before (and I probably posted photos of some too) but I think the 'Water Day' as such is a new event (or at least that's the impression I got from reading about it in the newspaper today).
