End of the Summer Battle

End of the Summer Battle

The battle of the pier lasted all summer. This pier at Lake Rudan in Handen belongs to the anglers in the fishing club Lilla Fiskelyckan. But the local tough boys stole part of the pier and used it to jump into the lake with their bicycles! The anglers took it back, but guess what, the teenagers stole it again, and also had the rest of the pier float away! The anglers response was to have their sponsor (a local builder), help them fasten the pier once and for all. And as school starts today I believe the war is now over. Although there are some nasty looking iron pipes sticking up from the water here and there so I hope no one dives in and gets hurt.

Such a beautiful scene. Hope those pipes can removed but otherwise, idyllic. Nice photo.
