Think there's a lot to see in this image. It was taken on a sunny Sunday in September (Sept. 25th) in the LOCKS OF VEERE, Zeeland, the Netherlands. As you can see, a lot of boat owners, often accompanied by some friends or relatives, have used this opportunity to make a ride with their boat on the Lake of Veere (which is just outside the locks). The locks are needed because of different water levels in the canal and on the lake. The image shows that people are still speaking friendly with each other. As soon as the (maritime) traffic lights switch to green, the skippers are allowed to sail out of the lock. It will become then silent and there will be 'some' (please notice the quotes) nervous tension. Often a wonderful, and sometimes 'funny' event for the 'audience' on the sidewalks of the locks. I have never heard however applause for the rather complicated performance, lol.

Although it's a different approach of the topic, hope you'll like my entry for the 'people' contest. Thanks in advance for your comment.
