Date: May 5, 2007.
Location: Puteney Bridge, Bath, UK.
Event: Duck Race!!


The 1000 (plastic) ducks are released at the Pulteney Weir! Oh, just a sec, Duck no 768 was disqualified for doping charges!! :D


All the ducks move towards the side rail (Just like - in a long race, runners move towards the inner track). Also, ofcourse, there is less turbulence and a steady speed is easier to achieve!





The early leaders!






The commentator (and the refree)! I bet he cheated! ;-)




And the race continues.. Every duck is trying sooo hard! ;-)




Very close to the finish line! Duck no. 475 clearly won!! There was a close contest for the second place though :D
