One of my favorites photograph's



As i said in an old post, i'm scout, and this picture was taken, in the summer camp of my group of January, 2015
I chose this picture because i am with two of my biggest friends, of course that we are all friends in my group, but i have an special love for them because the one at the right was my leader and he taught me a lot of things, and the one of the left is my friend since we were 9 years old, and we go to camping together since that date, so we are almost like brothers (their both names are Sebastian)
we did between the trees an oriel with wood, and we use that to see the sky and specially in the night when the stars were shining, i have amazing memories of that.
I don't know who take this picture but it has to be someone of the family, and that's why i love this photograph, because it was taken in a familiar and gorgeous environment, full of love and friendship.
