Out my car window May 31

The last day of May couldn't have been more beautiful. About 72 degrees, beautiful blue sky with just enough clouds to make it interesting. I had many places to be today; driving to the school to pick up information on valedictorians for an article, getting one final updated photo of the blight homes and then starting on a series of shots for next week's feature. On my way back to the paper, I spotted two boys on a bike - all totally illegal these days - shirtless, backs starting to get a little tan from the sun, yelling, hooting and laughing their way down the street.
I snagged my camera, aimed without looking out the front window while I drove. This is the result.

This is what drew my attention:

Nikon D70
1/5000s f/8.0 at 18.0mm full exif

other sizes: small medium large auto

I was not thinking about safety. That is how we biked around in Germany all the time and we had a blast!!! A very fun picture Donna. Great shot without even looking!

Bad, Jeremy. Boys on a bike, having a good time in the middle of the street. I'd say it was a safety issue that caught my eye, but it really was the fun. It reminded me of watching the little girl I did a PaD shot of a while back, doing flips over a railing. One of those oh, yeah, the magic of being young when summer's just starting, school's almost out and the possibilities seen just about endless.

Hey look, Chris S. is back!
This is a fun image. Not sure what drew your attention though. Something about young boys without shirts? Didn't do much for me sorry.
