Either oar

Strong glimmers of an Indian summer today. My friend Ishmael was visiting Cambridge and we strolled around the city and colleges. This river scene was taken from the back of Trinity College. It never ceases to be comical to watch amateur punters struggle along the river. I'm not adept at punting on a busy river either, so I would avoid a sunny day close to summer. Then it's a catch 22 situation because who wants to punt on an empty river in drizzle? The amateurs deserve respect for attempting it, as it's embarrassing when hordes of tourists giggle at you when you scissor across the river and incur the wrath of the professional waistcoated punt guides.
