Clicked on the link, went to make a cup of coffee, and when I came back, Flickr had just about finished loading. Sheesh that thing takes a long time on my computer! Glad I looked, though. There's something disturbing (yet compelling) about this photo. Here's this family obviously enjoying their romp at the water's edge, in the midst of what appears to be an industrial zone. The trussed structure in the foreground (is it a pier of some sort?) along with the gigantic construction site in the background (looks like their building a nuclear reactor) make the little beach look pretty bleak. Yet there they are, enjoying what they can. Rather poignant. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
