The man saw me snapping this photo, and then waved and shouted: "Now it's spring!"
I was standing up on the bridge to the left in the photo below:
It was an unusual sight to see on this part of the river, because he was between this bridge and another one just a couple of hundred meters further down (to the right in the photo), where there is a dam and a waterfall, making it impossible for any kind of boat or board to pass:
So either he had just started out close to where I saw him; or else he must have come from the other direction (the city center) and had just turned around.

You know, this could have been Howard - the man YP wrote about the other day :-D
ReplyDeleteMeike, you must have seen something in Howard that I did not! ;-)
DeleteHow fun to see a man paddling in the canal
ReplyDeleteRo, it's always fun see something "out of the ordinary"... :)
Deletepaddle boarding is really popular here, but never thought about people doing it in your waterways. welcome spring
ReplyDeleteSamdra, I've seen it in the lake and the river near there in summer, but not down here.
DeleteThat looks like a good way to beat any traffic jams!
ReplyDeleteI quite fancy trying paddle boarding, but on the river seems a good way to start. Even a tiny wave on the sea would probably tip me off!
Carol, there's nothing that would tempt me to even try... ;) I'm glad as long as I can keep the balance on solid ground!
DeleteWhat a lovely and unusual thing to see and how nice that he was so pleasant and friendly.
ReplyDeleteJanice, I was surprised he could concentrate on anything but just keeping his balance!
DeleteWow, that's a great way to travel, as long as you can just balance and keep going...and get on the board in the first place!
ReplyDeleteBarbara, yes, there are certainly a lot of "ifs" involved... (lol)
DeleteAn unusual sight! Good that at his age he is keeping active, too!
ReplyDeleteWe occasionally see paddleboarders on our canal, but not as often as I might expect. Perhaps it's not exciting enough for them.
