A group selfie of six people standing in a lake. The water comes up their chests and is clearly cold; Most have their arms wrapped around themselves and their hands on their shoulders to keep them out of the water. The sky is a leaden gray, and there are no leaves on the trees. But the bathers are smiling and look happy to be in the water together. The woman who is taking the selfie is curling her biceps in the classical strength gesture.
Two swans are standing on a lakeshore. It is a grey winter day. In the lake, in the background, there is a swimmer, visible mainly because they are using a neon orange swimming buoy.
Today‘s swim: 250 m, 9.8C, 10 min. And the joy of community, which is not so easily quantified.
