River hiking - Pebbles art


It was an autumn day. I had an hour to kill, so I took the opportunity to go for a walk by the river.

While crossing a bridge over a canal, I noticed some wild ducks ...

... watched this. While I was taking some pictures, a man passed by with his dogs. He asked me if I was the artist. I denied it, but I added that I would like to be. He informed me that along the river bank there were other pebbles sculptures.

And I found some of them: one, two, three.

Other people had passed and left their art near the river bank.
