Description : |
Children playing on seesaws at a playground with others waiting in the background. It appears that this may be a new playground, both from the number of children anxiously waiting their turn and from the clean edges of the timber. The smile of the face of the girl on the left is evidence of the thrill of the ride and perhaps the trepidation of the anticipated thud if her partner misjudges the bounce. There appears to be equal numbers of boys and girls. |
