On Friday evening, in celebration of the official arrival of summer, B and I opted for dinner at an outdoor pizza parlor on the boardwalk. There, we could sit and watch the parading “cast of characters”, many of whom had just arrived from out of town. This experience presented a stark contrast to our quiet, early morning strolls along the wooden pier. As we enjoyed our pizza, we listened to the “music” blaring from the open windows of the hottest spot in town; a place were the locals and “bennies” mix to while away the heat-haze filled days and nights filled with loud music and beer. Upon our departure, my attention was drawn to the long rows of bikes along the fencing (something not so prevalent in past years). Surely a sign of the times; a result of gas prices and the “the don’t drink and drive” philosophy.

Sounds like fun! SO many bikes. I wonder if you can get a ticket drinking and riding a bike?
Beautiful and atmospheric night shot! Well done!
Cheers, Klaus
A sign of the times is right! I'd love to be there at closing time and watch the owners cycle home, though! Happy summer.
I love people watching. We used to have a great area on the river called Flats. All the bars/restaurants are now gone except one. It's dead and I miss sitting on the deck and watching boats go by...
or maybe, a sign that people are taking steps (or pedals) to care for our mother earth :D nice night capture :)
The bikes made for a fun shot. :) Sounds like a nice evening.
