Here comes the summer

Photo taken on one of the rare hot summer days we get in this country.

Because many people lack a garden behind their houses, many seek refuge in the parks when the weather is finally good. Barbecues, bottles of wine and instant-salads from supermarket Albert Heijn are all over the place, and everybody is having a good time. This picture was taken in the Westerpark, on the same day that Lenny Kravitz was giving an open-air concert there (hence the many people gathered on the dyke in the background; they hoped to see something of the recital, though I highly doubt if they could). In the foreground are two children who spent the entire afternoon riding through an artificial and shallow canal with their crossbikes.
