  1. That is totally stunning! Where do you find such beautiful things?

  2. This is in my friend's garden in South Wales. It obviously hasn't been used in years and each time I go there it's a little more dilapidated - I fear it will collapse shortly!

  3. Yes, a picture that could evoke some memories and feeling - an image of melancholy and of some symbolism - "der verwunschene Garten unserer Kindheit" - I like the 'Schaukel' and the scenery very much- and never it should be dilapidated or vanish! Blackdog could make a fine b&w photo of it.

  4. Thanks Philine. I like the idea of the enchanted garden of our childhood, now grown old and melancholy. I have in fact done a black and white photo of this a few years ago http://anniedog.shutterchance.com/image/2008/11/16/melancholy-swing/
