A park in action

Observed at ten thirty in the park, a normal weekday:
  • A film team making a movie or some kind of documentary.
  • School children practicing various sports led by their PE teacher.
  • Toddlers in yellow vests walking in line behind the nursery teacher, holding on to a rope to not get off track.
  • Three latte-dads dressed in sporting outfits and in deep conversation while pushing their one-year-olds in trendy buggies towards the playground.
Twenty years ago I suppose the school children would still have been there and may be even the film team. But I doubt the yellow vests and the rope would have been present. And the latte-dads are more likely to have been moms without lattes.

A park of our times.
