The youth of today!

Still on the bottom step ~~~ way to go! Nice shot Peter

Hi Nick,
Thank you for visiting!
I'm happy that you had a good look and good think!!
A very interesting observation!! Perhaps to move up a few steps they need to have a look at the world around them!!!!


Best Wishes,
Peter

Not the usual sort of photos to come out of that lovely Island Peter. Great lines here and the couple are in the perfect spot. Well done mate. ~ Herb

Hi Herb,
Your visit is most welcome. Thank you.
I am pleased you found it interesting.
As I said to Lothar below, there was so many things they could be doing, but (as you figured out) I saw an opportunity to try and make some composition from this.... And maybe a message too!

Best Wishes,
Peter

Um sie herum sieht es ja auch nicht unbedingt kreativ aus. Also besser ins Netz...

Hi Lothar
Thank you so much for your very kind visit.
Glad you like it.
Of course the photo doesn't show what is behind them.. If only they would look at it!!
The old fort www.ipernity.com/doc/2247998/48203338 They could visit there!
Or the military museum.. www.ipernity.com/doc/2247998/48154052
Or even the mermaid.. www.ipernity.com/doc/2247998/48139976


Best Wishes,

My dear Peter,

A very interesting picture here!
I like the great lines very much! And the young couple in this spot, makes the picture more attractive!
A wonderful capture indeed!

Love Füsun

My Dear Füsun,

Thank you so much for your wonderful comments! I am so pleased that you like it.
Of course there is plenty to do, but these two seem so engrossed in stroking their little toy....
And such empty space too!

Love Peter

Great title. *I shake my head in wonder*
It is amazing, isn't it? What a difference. You have to wonder...how much less of a life do they have compared to us? How much have they missed out on? How much will they miss out in the future. Of course online lives are worthy...but they are lacking in so many ways.

Nevertheless, a super picture!! Thanks for sharing!

Hi Janet,

Your visit is much appreciated!! Thank you!!!

I certainly do wonder too.. These kids never become streetwise. Every time there is a crime or disaster, then instead of going to help, all they do is film it on their little phones.
There are so many things within a stone's throw of here...

Perhaps whale watching..https://www.test.ipernity.com/doc/2247998/48118870

OK, rant over....

Of course I wanted to try and make a picture here....!!

Best wishes

Hi Peter,

Maybe too much sun to see their phone screens properly ;-)) It's a very good picture and I love the lines of steps and the stone in between....great colour!

Best wishes,
Rosa.

Hi Rosa,

Thank you so much for your informed judgement! Do you ever imagine your grandchildren like this? No, they have horses, pretty villages, .... and beaches...
Perhaps there is a deep message here!!

Of course I figured it would make a nice picture, and I am pleased you like it too.

Best Wishes, and a good week ahead
Peter

Hi Peter,

I have just the one grandchild and she is 10 years old. Does horse riding, piano playing, singing and her time on the i-pad is strictly limited, thank goodness. She also likes steam trains and old buildings....so that's a companion for me for a long time to come....I hope ;-))

All the best,
Rosa.

Most definitely food for thought - and yet the kids of today cetrtainly are justified if they reject our generations values, looking at the mess we will leave them. Just saying ...

Hi Andy,

Thank you for such an interesting point of view, which I can certainly understand!!
Look at the mess of Brexit.. Nearly every day someone gets murdered in London, yet the police are more interested in nicking people for 'racist' jokes.. Our country is definitely in a mess!!!!!
(And it is not the only one!)

Best Wishes
Peter

Hi Peter!

The long and wide flight of steps, so finely detailed and lighted, epitomize so strongly the absence of their any real interest in the surrounding world, at least in my opinion .
Cells seems to have become a sort of fortress where they can take shelter from against the messy desert of any social -ethic values in contemporary world

Very keen and effective representation!!
best wishes-Bea
