9 October 2021 Zurich the Old Botanical Gardens and more strolling

 


After lunch we strolled along a side canal to the Old Botanical Gardens.  There is a New Botanical Gardens but we chose this one instead.  We saw odd things in the canal and odd signs in the garden.  It was a lovely walk.  We crossed back over the river and walked in a new commercial area.  


A blocks long flea market


I would prefer a dictatorship


We are not sure what this playing field is.  Water basketball or maybe kayak ball?  There are gates you would find in competitive kayaking but there are also two goals suspended above the water.


A fun walkway along the canal


A funky wooden sculpture in the gardens


I have summited Mount Sculpture


We say a tiny gecko scurrying over this creation but he was too fast for a picture


We have seen this tree in South America


Another swimming area


This tree was huge.  The top branches were all strapped together, not sure why 


These must not be edible or someone would have had it for lunch


This sign denotes this area as a place to take selfies or maybe a place for choirs to line up


A dense bamboo forest


Lots of beer caps means lots of beer in the belly


Not sure what is going on inside


Lots of folks out for a Saturday walk



Lots of effort put into protesting public safety
