I know this has little if anything to do with sustainable design, but I was riding my bike by the school in Vastra Hamnen and a bunch of kids were at recess. I am always intrigued by children and how they interact and often wonder if their relationships and interactions have anything to do with culture and/ or the society into which they grow as they get older. when I saw the kids playing I stopped to watch for a minute. what I saw was amazing.

I realized almost immediately that I needed to take a picture of the scene because it was so interesting. the kids were rough housing in the sand in a way that was absolutely amazing. I'm not entirely sure if it was a game or just kids being kids, but I've never seen anything like it.

basically a kid would run up to another kid and shove him off his feet onto the ground. then another kid would do the same to that kid or someone else. it seemed random. boys were knocking down boys, boys were knocking down girls, girls were knocking down boys. it was a free for all. yes, the teacher was standing about 10 meters away watching (to the right in the first picture).

and yes, it was awesome.
