These swings are on the playground of the Jerome Reservoir Park
in the northern corner of the Bronx.
I took this photo in February 2009

Beautiful...and very cold looking...no swinging today!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great perspective.. love this.
ReplyDeleteW00t! And I love the new header! And, why am I up so late? Gah
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I love the composition and the choice of monochrome.
ReplyDeletelove repeats/patterns and when in monochrome, that itself creates a pattern of colour, lots of lines too...great image!!
ReplyDeleteThis works so well in monochrome.
ReplyDeleteAnd the new header is fantastic...
the ever evolving Daryl.
They look so sad.
ReplyDeleteLove all the vertical lines and love the new header.
ReplyDeleteI love the sense of stillness
ReplyDeletethey're waiting for the children
Great shot and you should have entered it in Monochrome Weekly. It's great !!!
ReplyDeleteV
Is it just me, or do these empty swings look terribly cold?
ReplyDeleteNew header = very cool.
ReplyDeleteSwings in February = good angle.
Weather here = very cold.
cooo....cooo.cooo...trying to be like a cute pigeon (new header is nice!!!)
ReplyDeletelike the swings capture too :)
baby it's cold outside! What's up with all the parks putting rubber matting down. The mud puddles were so much cooler :)
ReplyDeleteLovely mono!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
I love the composition of that photo and the black and white is perfect!
ReplyDeleteStrange emotions they invoke. I first wanted to say it's wonderful to see. But then the absence of anyone on them does bring a bit of sadness. Great photos and perspectives. It leaves a lasting impression.
ReplyDeleteThe angle you captured doesn't even make them look like swings, interesting shot.
ReplyDeleteTotally made me think of "Saturday in the Park" - the Chicago tune, if there's anything else...
ReplyDeleteNot sure I like having this song stuck in my head. Huh.
Nice one Daryl - looks almost as cold as here today!
ReplyDeleteSwinging shot Daryl! :)
ReplyDeleteBeing of a certain age - I think I've always preferred the flat board swings.
ReplyDeleteMore room for my butt.
Still swings always leave me feeling wistful. They make me realize how fast the years go by. And how simple and beautiful the fun life can be. Just have to take the ride.
ReplyDeletethe swings look so lonely....
ReplyDeletefunny, i actually saw a kid on a swing today and thought they were crazy!
ReplyDeleteCold and dreary, abandoned and sad ... yep, that's January all over. February too, it would seem. You've really captured the feeling well here, and it's perfect for black and white.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the pigeons and the lights in your header.
There is something I like about swings and playground equipment in the winter with no one on them. Good shot.
ReplyDeleteI need to be swinging! With a birds eye view.
ReplyDelete<><
Aloha, Friend!
ReplyDeleteAnother masterful shot-
Comfort Spiral
Nice geometry in this monochrome image!
ReplyDeleteno one in the park today with this weather-A perfect Winter illustration Daryl.
ReplyDeleteThey would have swung on their own today, with all of the wind...something terribly lonely about an empty swing. Nice shot!
ReplyDeleteLike the new header too.
Love the perspective on the swings =)
ReplyDeleteAnd, the new header picture is a keeper!
xoxox
I just love this photo. It looks so peaceful.
ReplyDeleteLove those black & whites. And, what a statement. It's Cold!!!
ReplyDeleteStay warm.
nice B/W photo
ReplyDeleteThere's just so much to love abotu this B&W is the perfect choice for starters, and the simple intersections of light/shadow subject/space... It's almost Zen-like. Very tranquil and moody.
ReplyDeleteOh, and that pigeon on the left looks like one angry bird!
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautifully sharp black and white shot. The contrasts are perfect.
ReplyDeleteWow. I love that picture. Love it a ton. I can just imagine the happiness those swings evoke in small children!
ReplyDeleteLove this one.
ReplyDeleteThere's something sad about playground swings at rest, isn't there? They should all be at angles, with feet stretched out in front, and perhaps a larger person behind ready to give a push.
ReplyDeleteLove this photo, though. It evokes much in me - melancholy, to be sure, but also wistfulness. I want to ride a swing again. I think I'll make that a priority during my mini-vacation upcoming later this week.
Thanks, Daryl!
This a wonderful picture. Thanks for sharing.
