I took this one at the Tel-Aviv beach and got into a comversation with a friend of the players that saw me photographing.
The left man is 92 years old (!), and playes there every day for years. The one on the right is 'only' 78.
So, after taking some pictures of them streaching and jumping around, I went over and shook their hand.
That's the way I want to be when I'm 92, If I'll ever get to be...
BTW
the game is called "Matkot" and It's like tennis only the ball is in the air all the time and there is no net. It's verry common in Isreal.
at first this made me giggle - but then i read the explanaition and shut my mouth cos these guys rule some old people are soooo cool - cherish the hand thatshook theirs, it is now blessed with eternity life stuff
teehee. take care of yourself kids. it will pay off.

My darling, when it comes down to it... and the flame is seeping out of you and igniting the tarmac beside your head or else the floor, or else the pillow, none of us is; or else we all are.
I'd like to show you some awesome nature related work from more or less unknown artists which deserve more attention - this is a must see, you won't regret it!!!

I'm a lover of visual impacts. I like brilliant colors and shapes. And I decided to collect a whole stack of deviations that reflect that taste. These pieces showcased below deserve every bit of publicity you can give them. x)P

No more turning away.

at first there's not much to the picture, but after reading the description, it all changes of course
at age 92, being able to play Matkot on the beach every day is definitely a great life
