"bathers" sculpture(s) in Sarria river

[CWBuff]

I have a friend who currently is on Camino Frances and just passed Sarria. She posted a question on her FindPenguins about some 'sculptures' as she put it in the river
Bathers sculptures in the river
in case the link cannot be accessed I am including some photos
Possibly by Puente de Aspera?
Anyone has any ideas?
thanks in advance

A more interesting example of stone stacking than most I've seen along the Caminos. No idea what it may have represented to whoever created it. But pretty sure they will not have survived a serious Galician downpour and the spate which would follow.

Thanks @Bradypus - I hear what you are saying. in a sense it would be a shame but as life goes - most likely no escaping the Fate

Lovely! Yes, some of it may fall over time, it's a good reminder that all things are temporary. The beauty lies in the moment seen and the remembrance of it, not in its survival.

It is after Melide. My grandchildren added some last year

Saw those "sculptures" last year, and thought "it must have been a hot day for someone to have spent all that time in the cold, running water".

I'm sorry I don't think it's the same grouping. My friend at that time just passed Sarria. She made Palace del Rei last night so what she saw couldn't be "after Melide"
