Good vibrations: frolicking Berliners

Walking in the parks. Saxophone and singer playing guitar. Boats lined decorated with flags, lots of passengers drinking and dining. Boat parades. Canals lined with cabins and mansions,bathers young and old along the shore. Walking dogs, riding bikes. Drinking beer, eating sausage. A blanket on the ground, reclining, drinking tea and talking with a friend or lover. Maybe both.

Darkness falls and the boats illuminate with strings of lights, bright colors reflecting off the water as the music plays on. A boat with a hot tub slips by. Now a large ship slides through the narrow channel at Insel der Jugend, passing gaggles of cabin topped pontoon boats anchored in the bay. Then a gay pride boat parade.
