This picture is another from the Dragon Boat races in Leeds, Yorkshire this last weekend.
I think the trick with dragon boat racing is to have 16 beefy chaps on the oars and a girl like the one in the photograph beating the stroke. Also I think I make be correct in saying it looks like she is shouting words to encourage the rowers. I may be wrong, perhaps she is shouting could they go back because she left her mobile on the bar!
You can see another image from the 2009 Leeds Dragon Boat races on my pictures of Leeds in Yorkshure blog.
You cannot see it in this picture but this area of Leeds down by the canal basin has changed incredibly over the last few years. Someone commented about yesterdays photo on this blog about the change and it is true it is like a whole different city down by the canal. I will post about this area over the next couple of weeks.

I see that one man looks like he is exhausted or gasping for air. What a race.
