Mirror mist


Continuing with the temporary twinning of York with Bordeaux, here is the mist I mentioned in the last post! I wonder if the boys running away know something the others don't.

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.
