A solitary tree swing moves in the breeze surrounded by a rusty slide, a collapsed picnic table and a broken swing set. The play area of City Orchards on Huron Street East in London evokes some sadness but also images of happier times.

Great title for this picture. At least the swing still looks serviceable.
And, Happy New Year Sheila – keep the great images coming!
thanks so much – yes I sat on it and it held me… ha ha. Happy New Year too 🙂
Oh the stories your photo could tell. Nice shot!
thank you joleen – I am sure there are all sorts of great stories from that place. a happy spot to visit and the kids can have fun while the parents shop. perhaps some image-inspired short stories would be a good idea.
I really like your take on this scene Sheila – in all ways! Oh yes, and I’m a sucker for swings 🙂
thanks e. it’s sad to see since I know it was such a great spot for locally grown fruit – right in the city.
