Very cool! Anyone here close enough to go get a picture for us?

[Diana]

wouldn't that make a great photo!? thanks for sharing this.

Oooh! I hope someone does get a photo! Yet I wonder why they are calling it a mermaid... Those look like knees to me...

[Lux Vivens]

Those are knees! She is called "the bathing one" in a very literal translation. Not heard of mermaid before! Hm... @petitcraque might be able to help us.

[Sarah White]

Interesting. Althogh I'm not quite sure about those knees. lol
