With the middle of the day comes the sweet smell of BBQ. Workers stuck on this beautiful day finish their shifts and grab a bit to eat, joining those already well on their third plates. Merging groups of friends, family, and even some strangers congregate at the park for some good old, life-loving grub.

In the distance, under the awning, is a group of hip twenty-somethings. Laced up in the freshest modern sleek, they too gather, but to the beat of a different drum. Frisbee's flying about and music blaring out of a laptop speaker, the collective ages in unison despite all trying to remain young.

Behind them some adolescence kids, moving carefree through the park, peddling their bikes at a fiesty clip. They swerve between daytime walkers, professional cyclists, and leashed dogs, negligent to the disruptions they're causing. A teen's summer wouldn't be complete without a day like this.

The bikers' fun halts as a forming crowd stop them in their tracks. In front of the scaling bodies, hard to see when puberty hasn't hit, is a parade, filled with floats, singers, and lots of litter. It's a holiday celebration, with themed parade-goers filling the streets with red, white and blue.

Some stressed adults look down upon the kids, jealous of their leisures, scolding them for their inattentiveness. They don't care, the summer's here, warmth, friendship, and shenanigans is all that matters. They set out for another adventure, destination unknown, a world of mischief ahead.

Beyond the belly of humanity lies untouched forests, with swamps, flowerbeds, and creatures. It's a riveting world that bounces, swoons, and swoops at every foreign sound. At times, only when no one's looking, do these textures form a bond, dancing together as untamed beasts of the wild.

5:23:51 PM
That same blithely attitude swells a car packed with budding friends. The song of the summer plays on the stereo, pushing and pulling each youth as they jam six deep in a car meant for four, one also limping along, two decades after it should've been put to rest. Amenities don't compare to freedom.

The town's ransacked carnival arrives in town for the weekend. Disheveled, dreary and downtrodden are the workers, elated, ecstatic, and excited are the kids. In no other setting could you find emotions vary so wildly, with one side stuck in a booth, the other free to roam the matted common grounds.

5:47:29 PM
The carnival carries along. A crowd gathers to watch the merry-go-round churn onwards, its inhabitants gleefully, its line-goers hopeful. You take a moment to distance yourself, to overlook the once stale park, and see how it's transformed into a bubbling epicenter of joyous endorphin lifters.

Inside the spinning mechanical beast filled with mannequin porcelain figures is a slew of children enjoying the dress-up. The world outside ceases to exist, everything in your mind swells with each spin, the seemingly endless pleasure builds and builds as your brain becomes more confused.

On the other side of town, on a desolate land meant for starvation, piles high rolling hills filled with eager music-goers to catch a tune. It's a festival of psychedelic bands trying to recreate Woodstock, shirtless bodies clamoring to gather inside the mosh pit. You sit outside and view the spectacle.

They may look violent but the bending music disciples use aggression to let the sounds move through their mass. Consenting intimacy pulsating through individuals all praising the DJ on stage, it's as if music can become a diety when huddled under a stage driven by people with similar tastes.
__________________________________________________________
6:37:44 PM
As the sun starts to fade behind the grazing hills a light show takes over on stage, with a head nodding DJ pumping endless loops with building bass and drops out to the masses. Vibrations rattle everyone near the epicenter, baiting their bones to rattle along to the beat.

6:44:20 PM
The lawless friends halt their internal captivation of the sonic waves to pack a car set for the beach. Fireworks are set to explode off the coast, lighting up the night, and everyone in the car's spirits are on high for this momentous experience. Reckless abandon drives their passion for adventure.

6:52:40 PM
As the group descends on the parking lot alongside the beach we see a lonesome female, kicking rocks. Yet another man of her dreams has abandoned her, living a life on the edge, a flighty surfer boy not contained to one devoted gal.

7:01:58 PM
In front of the rushing tides groups of friends pile in, laying out blankets, dusting up the sand splayed out over the beach. The sun's starting to descend past the horizon, and even though many clamor for it to never leave, the nighttime brings its own form of excitement to revel in.

7:13:49 PM
As the troves of teens fill up the beach the ultra-luxurious ones gaze outwards at the sky from their private balconies overlooking the vast ocean. They invite their friends to smoke, party, relax, and take in the rich life with their parents out of town, booze, weed, and food litter every corner of the mansion.

7:28:00 PM
With a party this extravagant there's bound to be hard drugs finding their way in, some on kids' tongues. Clearly tripping on acid a teen's vision becomes distorted as reality starts to fade. House furniture is moving, pots and pans clapping together, as the partygoers snicker at the boy.
__________________________________________________________
7:36:19 PM
A party wouldn't be anything without some certified bangers blasting through the high-end house speakers. Ignorant party anthems are all the rage for teens barely sustaining control, with bass that distorts all other aspects of the music, in an attempt to get bodies grinding in the cleared out living room.

7:53:09 PM
A summer get-together wouldn't be complete without a mental breakdown in a locked bedroom, away from all the chaos. Wasted off nameless booze, two teens reflect on their last summer together before departing for college. Another life lies ahead, with tears being shed for the past, fearful of the future.
