Pensive

In our camping area to the left and to the right are families as it is still school holidays.
The right hand family of 2 adults and 3 children all had bikes each and were very well behaved. Not one mobile phone to be seen! This is the older son sitting in the evening sun and thinking…..?
Just after this, father came round and said something and the two them disappeared.
The only aggravation came from a new camper with a huge caravan and a large black labrador which came out and barked! His main target was a caravan opposite where a single lady lived with her three ginger cats!

Three good things:
1. The usual daily water fight took place over at the playground and some of them came back completely covered in mud!
2. Good mobile coverage here so can interact on the internet.
3. Some of the huge and wonderful trees here are almost 200 feet high!
Super candid, he looks quite deep in thought.

The greens are incredible, as is the comp.

@alophoto Does that mean you don't believe it, Amanda! Lol! So many greens here in the Park!
January 12th, 2017  
@maggiemae no, I just miss greens like this. Good to see. We are all dead and brown here.

@alophoto I was just kidding, Amanda! We use the word incredible for so many things even if it does mean, unbelieving!

The wonderful warm green tones are beautiful, and this is a lovely scene! It sounds like you are having a good time :)

A lovely lush scene with a young man having time to himself !

@dsp2 Doing absolutely nothing, Dinah - except people watching!

Campgrounds can be such a good place for people watching. This young guy looks like he might be "thinking of his behaviour" as in "time out" maybe/ Makes for an interesting image and the lighting is lovely. I would love to see a photo of the daily water fight. They were always such fun with our boys.

Nice to see that some families have better things to do than be on mobiles & all things tech, unusual these days! I noticed our two boys were both watching something on iPads when apwe skyped the other day. Good job they also have an active life! Looks beautiful countryside! You tell a good story of your surroundings!

Great candid of this youngster's mood...It sounds like you're are having a good time observing your surroundings.

So good to see kids sitting quietly without a phone in their hands. Looks a lovely space to spend a few days.

@happypat Perhaps this family says, no phones when we are away camping! Its fun to be able to watch what's going on and be in your own little secure place!

A penny for his thoughts.

A lovely scene, Maggie. Looks a beautiful countryside.

A teen without a cell phone in his hand...refreshing. Nice capture
January 12th, 2017  
Thoughtful shot.

It looks like a nicely placed bench for the afternoon sun. I used to love camping in our summer holidays. We'd go for 3 weeks every year, 2 years to the South Island and then 1 year in the North.

Wow lovely green and beautiful trees, it looks like he is pouting!
January 12th, 2017  
So green down there , it's very brown up here

@radiogirl He did look a bit sad - but brightened up when his father came over!
January 13th, 2017  
Interesting candid shot. The body language looks as though he is having a bit of a sulk. Hope he cheered up.
January 13th, 2017  
Not the image of a happy camper from the look of his arms.
January 13th, 2017  
@tonydebont Thats right, Tony - arms folded! But he cheered up and went off with his Dad very happily!
January 13th, 2017  
This looks like a nice green park, Maggie - a nice place to camp for a few days. He does look like he may be sulking or something.
January 13th, 2017  
Great candid. So good to see a teenager sitting quietly without the support of 'phone!
January 13th, 2017  
Looks and sounds like he's waiting to do something with Dad. Too bad about the noisy dog- the only way that will stop is if one of them leaves. I like how warm this shot feels with that lighting.

VML how this youth is in natural spotlight, whilst the surrounding arbour protects him. Most atmospheric.
January 13th, 2017  
Brilliant capture with that magnificent light. It has a classic feel to it. Definitely a piece of art
January 13th, 2017  
Nice candid evening photo, he does look a little despondent!
January 13th, 2017  
A lovely capture Maggie.
January 13th, 2017  
Ah the best family holidays are the simplest.
January 13th, 2017  
Lovely candid composition.
January 13th, 2017  
Great capture, the boy is sitting in the perfect place for the light. Your surroundings are so green!
