Game Play, Shadow Play

Chess and checkers on a mild spring day. Geneva, Switzerland.

"Man is most nearly himself when he achieves the seriousness of a child at play." ~ Heraclitus

Spring in Geneva, Switzerland and in the park oversized checkers and chess boards are in play. Two teams of two members each are deep in thought about their next move. I can imagine that the air is comfortably warm... a lazy day. This looks like a lot of fun, although if I were in a really lazy mood, I would pick the checkers.. a lot less thinking to do.. Perfect strangers to most... I wonder, did they know each other before beginning the game?

This almost looks like our area today with the warm breezes.. well, more like wind to the tune of traffic restrictions on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, but still unseasonably warm, almost 70℉. Even the shadows cannot hold back the heat as the last of our recent snow slowly melts on the north side of the house. We're back on the roller coaster weather pattern... warm today, cold tomorrow then warm again the next. Geneva, right now? Not game playing or shadow making or bare armed weather right now... 46℉ with drizzle and probable snow flurries overnight. Brrrr.
