OCOLOY Day 198: Swing Bridge

Don't you just love it when you unexpectedly come across something completely off-the-wall and unexplainable. So that's how it was as I was walking along the Vilaine canal tow-path and happened upon this papier maché sculpture of a small child on a swing hanging from a railway bridge over the canal. The sculpture is quite small - about 18 inches high I would guess - and, judging by it's weathered condition, it has obviously been there some time. I have so many questions that I would like answered!

As usual, the image is SOOC and is part of my ongoing OCOLOY project - you can read more about it in my profile.
Nice one. Makes you look and ask questions.

What fun someone must have had making and securing this in anticipation of passers by being amused and entertained by such a quirky personage.

Actually very unusual as encounter , I love this encounter with childhood , the stage , as if the buildings were parents watching their children playing on the swing, ready to pounce if dropped , I love it , FAV

It looks so much like a real child - makes me look and look again - I love photos that have that effect on me.
