How the pensioners from Sun City "light"

Categories: Society |

Sun City is a community of seniors in Arizona, an amazing place that has everything you need to live a happy old age. On January 1, 2010, this retired town celebrated its 50th anniversary. For the anniversary, photographer Kendrick Brinson visited the community and later released a photo album, Sun City: Life After Life.

This town has a lot of entertainment for all ages, but especially for the elderly. There are over 120 clubs here, and the local seniors are some of the most active in the United States, if not the world.

In Sun City, old people do not think about death, they actively have fun and spend their leisure time in such a way that even young people could envy them.
