Pandji, Tim, Stuart and Thomas, thank you very much for your feedback!

 

During my first visit in Boulder, I felt very sorry for all those youngsters who seemed so poor and lost, and I tried to be generous to them. But when got more used to the place and them; and, saw them with their smartphones, tablets and laptops, I realized this is the life style they chose, and I felt sorry again, but for different reasons!

Louis,

 

We had a similar situation in Portland. The rich kids from Beaverton would come into the city, and not bathe for days, wear their hippie clothing, and panhandle on the streets. They'd do that for a few days, then head back to their posh homes. They liked to "play hippie". And I agree, it was kinda sad.

Hello Louis.

What an excellent shot this is of these hipsters.I thought , they have long since faded away,but apparently not so ,as you posted the evidence.I noticed the smart phone's .Perhaps they are fake hippies? At any rate ; just great,Greetings: John Basso. :)

Lee, Hank, Tri, Wilfredo and all the thumbs up, thank you very much for your encouraging feedback and generous comments.

 

Hank, I shot this picture about one or two years ago (as I go often to Boulder!). Hippies are very famous in this beautiful little town. Ironically, Boulder is considered as the most sporty and healthiest city in the US. And ironically, people have been using "Pot" for years in Colorado and Boulder in particular which may explain the great number of hippies in this town!... ( I assure you I am going to Boulder for completely different and much healthier reasons! :) ) ... But now, "Pot" is being legalized little by little almost everywhere in the US; the government gain a lot in taxation, it seems! I wonder if we should expect a renaissance in the hippy world!?...
