 Believe it or not this is the first day of spring, the children of the neighbourhood must be rather bored.

I really struggled finding something to fit this challenge, I don't feel this really does it but it's all I've got..

I like this image. It does look boring because who would go out and swing on a snowy day. But the way you took the picture looks awesome..just the way it fades back, it looks nice.

Nice shot. My eye keeps being drawn to the chain along the left side.

Nice approach of the challenge. Your image conveys the boredom feeling, as well as desolation or emptiness. Nice shot.

very nice photo, the grey over tone does well for the chains and surrounding metal.

Interesting lines with the diagonals and verticals. The desolateness of it fits the challenge nicely.

I like the picture. I like the fact that it's different from the other bore(ing)d pix. But where is boredom ? 8
