Tuesday Night Skating (TNS) in Frankfurt 15 July 2010

Since 1999 TNS organizes night skating in Frankfurt.

This evening the tour was 31 km and 720 skaters participated.
As I skated to the meeting point the display in my camera broke down so the photos are literally shot from the hip.

This photo was taken in 2006 but the meeting piont is still the same.

At the meeting point.

The football world championships had just started.

720 skaters waiting for start at 8.30 pm.

Half way stop.

Skaters coming down on the left side of the photo and, after a 180° turn, continuing on
the right side.

Every now and then there was a stop so that the slower skaters could catch up.

The end (at about 10.50 pm).
