Silent

It's been a foggy, dreary and rainy day. There won't be any noise coming from the playground today.

Great black and white

@kerristephens Thank you Kerri. I felt it brought out the dreariness of the day.

I see the same thing in all the little parks around here, Ann. All's quiet . . no children. Empty. Great photo and love the processing. :)

[bruni]

The processing makes it look neat..yes I drive by some little playgrounds and they're all vacant.. no kids..no laughter.

[Samantha]

This is a great shot! The black and white is perfect.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@karenann Thanks Karenann- not only do rainy days keep them away, most of them are in school now.
@bruni Thanks Bruni- yes, the only noisy playgrounds are the ones where recess is in progress.
@sanera Thanks Samantha! The black and white seemed appropriate for the dreary day.

[Rick Schies]

Same here, really dreary, and now tomorrow night they are saying snow.

[davide]

very beautiful composition! foggy shot are so cool!

[Colleen]

Tremendous b/w on a yucky day!

[Rich Hubbard]

Wonderful composition and choice for a black and white photo.

@digitalrn Thank you Rick- oh no- snow! I've been pretty achy today- probably a combo of what's already here (rain) and what's on the way (please no snow!).
@woot Thanks Davide! I do like the fog- especially when it nestles in the valleys here. I hope to stop and photograph that one of these days...
@httpgeffed Thanks Colleen! Yucky- that is the perfect word!
@rhubbard Thanks Richard. I took it in color and sepia too, but I felt the b/w was the best choice for the word silent. The others were too happy!

[Terry]

How cool, looks so sad without kids

[Nicole Campbell]

It does look sad without the kids playing on the equipment.

@sarasdadandmom @nicolecampbell Thank you Terry and Nicole. Doesn't it? I think the foggy day made it look very lonely.

[Allie]

This is just too quiet and empty.While beautiful I love playgrounds to be full and noisy. Well shot.

[Bev]

Great shot! Quiet playgrounds look sad.

[Sophie Wilson]

aww wow an empty park :) love the mood of it!

[Carole Imes]

Depicts the mood and silence so well....great work.

[alia_801]

So atmospheric - definitely captures 'silent' perfectly. I hope the playground brightens up soon

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@changingtides Thanks Allie- this one will be more active come Spring.
@prttblues Thanks Bev- I know it looks so sad, doesn't it?
@hinkipunk94 Thanks Sophie. I chose the b/w because of the mood it gave the shot. Since the whole thing is in neon green, orange and purple, color was just too happy!
@cimes1 Thanks Carole! The fog really helped to add to the mood of the shot.
@alia_801 Thanks Alia- I added just a hint of a shadow around the edges to give it that atmosphere.
