The waterfront is a friendly place.

Once I saw a silhouette beneath the surface, …

… but the swimmers did not mind … or I guess, they just did not know, …

… and the shark quietly returned to the sea.

People come here to lie down, …

… sit, …

… walk, …

… paddle, …

… not paddle, …

… learn to paddle, …

… or seriously paddle.

If you like you can jump, …

… fish, …

… watch the wildlife, …

… play the public piano, …

… or bring your own music.

There are all kinds of boats, powered by engines, …

… wind, …

… or muscles.

Sometimes the waterfront …

… is just too much, …

… but this city has many bays; …

… each with a unique charm, …

… unique boats, …

… life styles, …

… and beaches.

I like living by the Sea.
