Still trying to keep cool

People have been warned about the dangers of swimming
in the river, such as the continuous water traffic and the
strong under current, but every Summer, people take the
risk to go for a cool dip. Click on the pic to see the fishing
huts along the river bank, and note the oil tanker pass-
ing by in the background.





This is the Birskopf river, which flows directly into the Rhine, the water
was wonderfully cool, and Fuji had a whale of a time playing
in the water and digging holes in the stoney sand along the edge
of the river, but she was careful not to go in too deep.
It was another stinker today with temps of 32°C in the shade, we headed for the
Rhine river in search of a cool breeze, we parked the car and had to
walk just a bit to get to the river, when I saw this lovely lilly pond, I
stopped to take a pic.

Nearby where I stay is one of the world famous surfing beaches. And there are signs all over the beach at the "storm water" outlets saying "Beware, sewerage" and "Danger to Children." The last sign of course raises the question "Is this special sewerage that it is not dangerous to adults?" But, one can only say "Oooh, yummy!" I thought of that when I saw your photie of the oil tanker.

Wish I could send a little cool weather your way. The last couple of days it has been nice and cool, in fact perhaps a little too cool.

Katt: Rules were made to be broken, to some people, but signs
can be so confusing at times.


Keewee: I spent all day with
girl-child today, and when it
finally started raining, you can quess what I did! LOL!
