Two pleasure craft boats bumpered together on an evening outing.
Bumpers known as fenders are the inflatable device that comes between the boat and dock ( or in this case another boat ) to protect the hull from damage.

This is one of the iconic views of Tivoli Gardens, which is one of the oldest amusement parks in the world, located in central Copenhagen. The bumper boats and small pond is one of my favorites. In the background you can see the clock tower of City Hall Square. Yesterday was terrific weather for a trip to Tivoli.
It's an excellent place for people watching too.

As I said, I’m going helter-skelter through my Hyères/Corsica pictures. This one was shot from the stern of the Mega Andrea, a RoPax ferry, a few moments after the mooring lines were cast off for her and our night voyage to Bastia.
When the Mega Andrea was added to the fleet of Corsica Sardinia Ferries in 2015, she already had quite a career behind her: built in 1986 as the Silja Festival for Tallink (Estonia). And the first ship to arrive on site after the MS Estonia disaster. She served as a staging point for the rescue helicopters.
(By the way: a focal length of 30,9 mm in the Nikon 1 system is 83,4 mm in the full-frame world.)
This is number 10 of Hyères & Corsica June/July 2025 and, ofcourse, 12 of Bollard & Co.

The end of a three day weekend in Cyprus; coming back to Nicosia the high way was like this and moving at a snail's pace!
Some smarty pants people think they can dance on their boat after running into the other! :-)

1955 Cadillac Eldorado
Dagmar bumpers (also known as "bullet bumpers") is a slang term for chrome conical-shaped bumper guards that began to appear on the front bumper/grille assemblies of certain American automobiles following World War II. They reached their peak in the mid-1950s.
The term evokes the prominent bosom of Dagmar, a buxom early-1950s television personality featuring low-cut gowns and conical bra cups. She was amused by the tribute.
As originally conceived by Harley Earl, GM Vice President of Design, the conical bumper guards would mimic artillery shells. Placed inboard of the headlights on front bumpers of Cadillacs, they were intended to both convey the image of a speeding projectile and protect vehicles' front ends in collisions. The similarity of these features to the then popular bullet bra as epitomized by buxom television personality Dagmar was inescapable.
As the 1950s wore on and American automakers' use of chrome grew more flamboyant, they grew more pronounced. The black rubber tips they gained on the 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham and other models were known as pasties.
Postwar Cadillacs began sporting conical bumper guards in the 1946 model year. In 1951 models, some were raised into the grille. In 1957, black rubber tips appeared. The element continued to become more pronounced in size through 1958, but were eliminated in the 1959 Cadillac redesign.
Mercury sported Dagmars in 1953 through the 1956 model year. Lincoln added Dagmars in 1960, with a black rubber ring separating the body from the chrome tip.
Buick added Dagmars on its 1954 and 1955 models, in 1954 as part of the bumper assembly, and moved into the grille in 1955.
Packard included large Dagmars on the bumper in 1955 and 1956 models.
Full-sized Chevys in 1961 and 1963 also had small rubber Dagmars on the front bumper, and 1962 Ford Galaxie had small rubber Dagmars as an option.
