 I went for a hike after work one day when I came upon a play area in the middle of this deserted trail.

Luckily for me, the entire trail and the play area were deserted leaving my inner child to come out and play.

I found a tire swing, still in good working condition, tested it out, and then proceeded to spin my day away.

The photograph above is the end result.


And of course, 1x rejected it :-)




Ever since the sunrise/sunset in B&W challenge, I see myself now wanting to see how things look in B&W.

B&W Version
I wonder if this one would have done better:
No- it probably would not have.

Thank you everyone for the wonderful comments :)

Definitely agree colours over B&W.
This is probably the one time i've really "enjoyed" a blurry image on this site in connection to a challenge that didn't call for it to be blurry. Kudos for that.
