Filthy River

August: Dirty, Messy, Untidy

 

Shortly after 1pm when Street Parade 2011 started all manor of garbage, most alcohol-related, began floating down Limmat river. At first there were only a few bottles, but soon there was whole kegs, shoes and god-knows how much urine in there. It took a few days before it was safe to swim again.
