overhanging trees and walkways right along the water.But then you start to notice some funny things. For example - is the water really supposed to be that florescent shade of green?
Upon further examination the "no swimming" signs make a lot more sense.
Of course, we still see people swimming and fishing in these things. Then again, if a fish could survive in this water it probably has some very powerful evolution going for it, so maybe eating a fish like that will make you stronger. Assuming it doesn't kill you of course.

We just returned from a few days in Italy - with one stop being Venice. Their canals are not this lovely shade, but a much darker, eerier green. I never saw a fish- but they might be there. It wasn't hot (70 deg F) but no one was swimming or fishing.
Of course it is a main thoroughfare for water taxis, waterbuses, garbage barges, delivery boats, and so on - all with motors -- so I wouldn't jump in.
