While walking around the campus of the University of California, Berkeley, I met these young fellows.

Hanging out in trees has a dramatic history at UC Berkeley. History's longest tree sit-in, a protest against the university's decision to cut down a grove of 42 native trees to make way for a new athletic center, took place there. From December 2006 to September 2008, protesters literally lived in the treetops, getting supplies brought in, and waste taken out by volunteers. In the end, the protesters lost and the trees were cut down.

These guys were doing nothing of the type, and I would guess were waiting for their parents who probably work at the university.
Gotta love Berkeley. At least I do.
