Temporary twins


I've decided to twin Bordeaux with York, at least for a little while. This is the quayside water-mirror on on the mighty Garonne. Parents have great fun taking photos of their offspring here. 

Every now and then the water drains away into the slits and a fine mist  emanates from the metal discs set into the paving. It's amusing to watch the younger children as puzzlement at the disappearance of the water gives way to wide-eyed wonder at the arrival of the mist.

  1. What a neat shot! I really like the wide shot, so you can see the kids running and the reflections. That area looks quite large.

  3. Why don't we Brits have the imagination to put cool stuff like that in some of our towns? Nice pic!
