Fresh pond

this is the frog pond at Boston Common (see previous post). of course i did not understand at all why everyone was in the water while all around the water there were signs clearly saying "pond closed". when i took this pic i had not yet witnessed that disobedient citizens wading through some water can get arrested for that, otherwise i would have been even more worried about all those people with small children....
i guess the water was 30 cm deep, and probably around 37 degrees; thus the perfect E. coli incubator. yegh!! not such a fresh pond, i think. and all those children lying in that dirty water.... yegh! but they obviously all were very much enjoying themselves.. it was really cute to see...
