Bright Summer! Zeilvereniging "Gaasperplas", Gaasperpark, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
So Summer has finally arrived! and very Bright at that! Walking in the Gaasperpark my camera caught this colorful scene: the flotilla of the Yachting Society "Gaasperplas". It's for training 8-12 year olds to be good sailors.
The Gaasperplas is a small lake to the south of Amsterdam. It was dug at the end of the 1960s in the marshes of the rivulet 'de Gaasp' for sand to top up the building grounds for what was to become a 'banlieue' of Amsterdam not far away: the Bijlmermeer. It's quite deep for such a lake, dropping quite steeply to 35 m. and the water is exquisite on a nice Bright Summer's day!
