I Wanna Grow Old with You

What about this?

I like it too Steve! Thanks!
I just thought I left the coconut tree in there to keep the tropical feel ;-)

You're welcome! btw congrats on front page explore!! =)

I thought this was the sweetest thing that I've seen in quite a long time.

While I was waiting for the sun to set at Magic Island Ala Moana Beach Park, I saw this old couple sitting on the bench either watching the surfers or waiting for the sun to rest.

Now, this shot is just a couple minutes before the big ball in the sky takes a nap. A little after the sun was sitting on Waianae Ridge, the old man pulls out a point and shoot camera and takes a picture of themselves. Sweet!

It sort of reminded me of Adam Sandler's song from the "The Wedding Singer" "Grow Old with You".

Please see it Large.

Update: Thanks all! This made it to #18 of Explore! Mahalo!
