City playground

We have been hospital visiting at Wrightington Hospital this afternoon & I fully intended to take a photo in that area but it was just chucking it down with rain so another from yesterday today I'm afraid.

The concourse in front of the theatre provided a great place to play.

Three good things:
1. A few cows in the fields spotted today.
2. The heavy rain has washed off the sand on my car.
3. Another supper idea from Mary Berry tonight hopefully!

Nice to see the young children having fun. Lovely shot.

[Hazel]

Love the colours.

[Claire]

Now I know you will laugh but I just love the pink barrier, I mean it is pink for goodness sake fabulous;0)

[Judith Johnson]

What a lovely big playground.

[Pat Knowles]

@claireuk so it is Claire...I never just noticed it was a barrier.....we do stuff in style in the NW obviously!

[Judith Greenwood]

I saw the Lowry exhibition at the Lowry - fab - and always good to have somewhere to run.

[Karin Hirsch]

Lovely street shot. Are you sure this pink thing is a barrier, kind of small. What would it keep out or in?

[Al Bailey]

Lovely capture :)

[Pat Knowles]

@khirsch no not sure Karin but it is shaped like one & you know I can't even remember seeing it last night .

[Sue Wilde]

Such a lovely shot of fun

[Maggiemae]

Nice to see the children running freely - no traffic around. They could have gotten excited by something they watched in the Theatre!

[Rick Schies]

Well I woul dagree, the rain was really helpful in cleaning off the road dirt

[Phil Howcroft]

nice bit of reportage / street photography Pat, I like the complimentary colours of the sign-age, the girls skirt and the health and safety purple barriers

[Pat Knowles]

@phil_howcroft is that what it is....I suppose they move it round where needed...it had rained a bit so perhaps a sloppy bit by the door!

[Pat Knowles]

@phil_howcroft or perhaps even a slippy bit!

[Babs]

Lovely shot. Isn't it great to see kids running in open spaces. The Lowry is a very impressive building.

[KWind]

Looks like they are having fun! Nice shot!

[👑 AnaZad]

Beautiful design on that building and lovely to see those children having fun.

[bkb in the city]

Interesting place to play

[Dianne]

Happy kids - lovely shot.

[Phil Howcroft]

@happypat health and safety is important pat...sloppy sound better than slippy :-)

[Sean O'Neill]

Great street shot Pat, full of life. I described you as Mary Berry's (much) better looking younger sister the other day....

[Pat Knowles]

@seanoneill really Sean we'll i am honoured....she is a very stylish woman. Many thanks for the compliment!

[Sean O'Neill]

@happypat :-)

[CK]

Great action shot, I love all the movement in this.

[🐞Lucy Dolittle]

Children can find such fun games when given a nice big space. I'd play hopscotch I think!, wonderful Pat. Missed Mary Berry sadly as Malcolm and Charlie had police interceptors on!!!
