This is my entry for this weeks Weekly Photo Challenge; Joy. We were having a party at the lake in the northern parts of Sweden – Jämtland, this summer evening. The weather was great and everybody was happy. After a while some of the guys wanted to go for a swim and jumped into the lake. I had my Olympus E-PL 5 ready and shot several pics. Here is one of them, The boys of summer. Yes I’m thinking of the Don Henley song.

Fabulous response. Joy is all voer the fac. es of everyone
Are you related to the 16th and 17th century church musician-composer Michael Praetorius?
Not me but my wife is. Praetorius is her last name and i added it when we got married. She added mine. A common thing to do in Sweden. Very interesting that you know of Michael Praetorius.
A very interesting and fun theme. Thank you!
A timeless image perfectly captured.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate that.
It looks like such a fun night and I love the blue water.
Thank you very much! Yes we had a great time and it kept on for many hours because of the midnight sun.

well you know a picture is good when it looks like something (or someone) could have been photo-shopped in!!! also, the guy that is getting out of the water – and onto the dock – well his hand is in the air – and for a minute it almost looked like he was tossing the kid into the air – but then again, it is late and I may just need sleep. nice picture for JOY
Thank you very much. I shot several pics but i liked this one best because of everything that is happening in it. No one has been photoshopped into the picture.
