So safe, they're not any fun - no competition for Sat. morning cartoons or video games. Kids have fun anyhow (and will always take unsafe risks), but you see more on a Saturday afternoon when moms are tired of having them underfoot all morning.

Love the blue paint and the rust. I don't think it hurt any of us who had to play on these things. Now, some of the playground equipment was truly dangerous - like the merry-go-round (no, I'm thinking about the kind made out of just pipes with wood seats screwed to the bare frame around the outside - usually had a ditch about 8 inches deep all the way around it - if you wanted to ride "in the center" you stood on the pipes and watched the ground blur by under your feet). But, boy were they fun!

Probably the only time this year you were glad you neighbor didn't mow. I like the wooden fence and wild flowers next to it.

Another Fujifilm FinePix camera user! Interesting angle on this. Nice reflection in the side doors.

It could be an accident waiting to happen, and the the local council would be sued for damages - I really had though those things had gone out of favour.
But it's a good angle you have captured.

It would be nice to get in there and take macros of bugs and whatnot. ;-Þ

Perhaps you should've placed the vehicle so the house roof wouldn't be visible - but then you wouldn't have been walking about...

Man, I wouldn't want to bounce too hard on THAT thing. Ouch. Nice angle and interesting picture.

Cool little urban garden you got going there. Like the edgy processing feel to this too
