Hi Maged,
Actually the background action tells more of Vappu in Helsinki to me. Coming together at that pier with food, drinks, classic 'Unikko' tablecloth and musical instruments - and more drinks.
No wonder some want to swim too, although water is really cold. But many swim all through the winter.
Quite descriptive picture with good framing and perfect timing.
