The Bulles Come Down

All the tennis courts are covered with big (building size) bubbles from October 15 to April 15th, allowing everyone to play tennis all year.

We didn't have much rain until, you guessed it, April 15.  So, the uncovering of the courts progressed slowly this year.

In the foreground are courts 4, 5 and 6.  They are covered by one big bulle (balloon).  That came down first.  Then a single court, court 3 was opened to the sky.

In the background, behind all the players are courts 7 and 8, the last to come down.  On a very, very windy day last week, here is how it went.  The bulle deflated, it inflated, it moved, as if organically.  Man vs. nature vs a very big piece of plastic.  The men finally won, but I'm sure it wasn't a fun day for them.
