The last light of the day glints off the nose of UP 8108 (ES44AC ) as the Wasatch Mountains turn pink.
In a world defined by responsibility, seriousness, and relentless hurry, a glowing neon sign whispers a simple yet powerful message: “Never Grow Up.” These three words, captured in the fleeting atmosphere of a bustling café, carry a meaning that extends far beyond their apparent simplicity.
The concept of never growing up is often associated with preserving a childlike innocence and maintaining an everlasting curiosity. It is a call to retain the ability to see the wonder in the mundane, to delight in the small things, and to explore the world with open eyes. In childhood, every moment is filled with possibilities, and every minor adventure can be the greatest.
Yet, “Never Grow Up” is more than just a sentimental recollection of the past. It also serves as a critical reflection on society, which often demands that we relinquish our youthful dreams and fantasies to fit into the role of ‘adult.’ This role is filled with obligations, serious decisions, and often a heavy dose of reality that can weigh us down.

On Sunday afternoon we went hiking at San Francisco's Lands End. We ended up at the Sutro Bath ruins, always a good spot for sunset. We had fun playing with the sun, communicating over distance with hand gestures - no mobile phone reception here.
I processed a photographic and a balanced HDR photo from two RAW exposures, merged them, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

I know just how this thing ends
Hallelujah, guess we gave the karmic wheel a spin, oh, yeah
I know just how this thing ends
The aggriever goes aggressor and we do it all again
Take it from a demon
You can't say I never said
Take it from a demon
That the devil don't protect it's friends
Take it from a demon
He'll never work in this town again
Take it from a demon
He'll make sure an angel goes down next

Going bristles up sends a clear signal to an encroaching buck that the Boss of the Meadow will abide no threat to his dominance or does. What the image does not show is a severely swollen right cheek and virtually closed right eye from an earlier defense of his territory.

Just as the previous upload, this image is shot at the former postoffice in Utrecht. It is fascinating to know that the whole building has a concrete structure and is covered in glazed bricks. When the light is right it has a golden sheen over the walls.
Enjoy!

- www.kevin-palmer.com - As I walked up over this hill, Cloud Peak was visible, along with a small herd of deer. They stared at me for a moment before taking off running.
the Arc by Concord Pacific. Press L for full screen. The crooked horizontal line of light at the bottom of the bridge (when looking up) was the reflection of a, well swimming pool! That's kinda cool isn't it? :)
