Barceloneta, cooling off

These two jumped off the pier for a swim, much to everybody's amazement. I guess you're not supposed to do that because when they tried to get out, the captain of some boat started yelling at them and refused to let them climb up on his dock. You can see how popular this place is from the hordes of people in the background.

A wider view of Barceloneta:

Definitely one of the coolest places in the city. In both senses of the word.

I suppose look for a way to get out of the water before you leap! Looks like a lovely place. V

You can't blame them for wanting to cool off :-)) Terrific capture of this very busy place. V

Looks like only a few people actually went in the water. Great composition capturing them and the crowd above. V.
