Boys view the world differently from the rest of us. A boy sees a sandbar and calls it a mountain. He seizes a stick and it becomes his sword. He cuts a fearsome swath in the sand, stomps his way to the highest dune, and declares that he has conquered Mount Everest. Little wonder… for boys will be boys.

Shot on a Canon Powershot S1 IS at Tanjung Aru Beach.

  2. They say boys never grow up, but their toys just keep getting more expensive as they grow older. Glad you identify with the pic, Baine. ;o)

  3. Great silhouette! (but it’s a bit too dark). Lurve the color of the sky.
