Swan ride

After walking all around the extensive grounds, we circled back by the lake, which had been almost deserted earlier. It was now full of kids in boats having a great time on the water. I guess concessions open up after 4 p.m. at the park, just like many shops do.

Another boating picture posted earlier today:

Believe it or not, this reminds me of a place I once went in Mexico City. Wonderful capture. ~BV~

I love this shot... those boats do look old-fashioned, as Lynn says, and that is their charm! V

Very colorful an a surprising use of water. Vote.

Colorful little boats look old fashioned to me. But it does look like fun. I would want to ride in one! V

A fun thing to do for kids and for adults. V

an interesting combination of the coloured boats, which could be european, and palm trees and arabic windows, less probably so. The reflections of the colour continuing down are nice too

There is a bit of a Central Park feeling here! Beautiful capture Helen! Nice to see the children enjoying themselves! V :)

These swans are beautiful and colored ; they look like some ones I saw on a lake in Hanoï. Nice reflections. V
