I find it hypocritical that old people would judge young people because they undoubtedly thought the same thoughts and went through life as clueless as they did. "Youth is wasted on the young" is BS because you would not know half the things you do nor experience anything without aging and growing up. People learn what is important in life with age and how precious and fleeting life is. Kids don't know how fast life or things they love can be taken away from them, while the elderly have seen and suffered their own personal losses.
There will always be a "gap" between the two extreme age groups, but both should be acknowledged as
Youth = To be
Elderly = Are

Great comment, Talyn. I think you're right, it's a gap that will always be and I really like what you've said. Thank you!!

I think those youngsters should go talk to the elders and gain some wisdom. Never know the things they can teach us. Great shot. Very nostalgic

Either that or they'd have the 'get a haircut and get a job' combo.
Thanks for the comment. I'm glad you enjoyed the shot.

What I think is this: young people can be really annoying... criticizing - and often mocking - old people, because they have no clue about the life-paths some of these oldies have been through, or even if they were heroes in their time. And one day, unfortunately, they will be just like the people they look at now and never want to be like 
Great shot though, very thought-provoking!

Faved...
Great photo Miguel...
There is good detail and contrast...
fore...middle...and background...
3 layers condensed in space...
Black and white...
connects the elements...
and simplifies geometry in the picture...
there is ...Generation Gap...
Also amongst the buildings...!
The 3 grumpy old men...
and the old house opposite the station...
are surrounded by new glass and metal...
even the small trees must give their place...
to metallic monsters...!
why are the tree amigos so grumpy...
and why "take it out" on the youngs...?
they hate the stairs...thats why...!
Greetings Jakob.

Thank you Jakob. I couldn't have described this any better. Plus, the stairs might just be the reason why they were giving the evil eye to those kids. The plot thickens....

I wonder what the younger group is saying about the old men. I feel kind of caught in the middle for some reason, maybe my age.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Maybe something like... "I'm never gonna be like that, when I get older"...
