Sunny winter Sunday at Zoo Lake, Johannesburg

Today is a wonderful sunny warm winter Sunday and everybody is out to enjoy the warm sun. Zoo Lake is a very popular green area for all kind of peoples.

Zoo Lake does have a lake and you can rent rowboats to float around if you feel so inclined.

Every so often (I haven't figures out the schedule) there is an art sale on Sunday.

People come and eat their Kentucky Fried Chicken (very popular in Africa).

.....Or they just enjoy the outdoors together.

Some play cricket, which is very big in South Africa.

The balloon vendors are getting a well deserved rest at lunch time.

Somebody, presumably a homeless but I do not know that for a fact, is drying the laundry they washed in the lake. I should say that this is not unusual around any water large enough to allow for laundry washing.

People just enjoy being outside after a few somewhat cold days.

Families have barbecues in the park.

 Ducks get fed.

Vendors (the only guy standing up) go from group to group trying to sale their goods.

Little stands pop up..... and generally a good time is being had by all in the warm sun of this perfect winter Sunday.

Tomorrow the cleaners will have to pick up a huge amount of trash because unfortunately every Monday this has to be done for the park to remain a pleasant space. Johannesburg lacks nice, open outdoor spaces and Zoo Lake remains one of the favorites only because it is cleaned every Mondays otherwise it would be unbearable.

OK, today's' photo-a-day has somehow grown to something bigger, but I couldn't do Zoo Lake in one photo.
