The Winter Locals
In summer this is the beach of the local lake, busy with children of all ages, splashing in the water, laying in the sun, building sand castles, playing ball and generally enjoying themselves, joyously and usually noisily. In winter it’s quiet and there are different folks frequenting the water and the beach: geese and coots and ducks and swans and cormorants. They seem to be enjoying themselves just as much as the summer visitors.

These contraptions are cleaning the water of the local lake (not a natural one, but excavated) and are called pelicans. A part of the function is to circulate the water from below to the surface.

A Little Hidden Lake
One of the things I like about our running (and these days more often than not walking) group is that we get to go to places that I normally would not find on my own.
Like this lake near Teplice in the Czech Republic. Our group never met anyone at all while we circled the lake and finally decided to jump in, even though we hadn’t brought our costumes.
