That's our old swing my grandpa got my now 17 year old brother when he was a baby. Me and my friends used to push each other on the blue bench swings and pretend we were going on some big trip to China. Now its where I always end up going to listen to music and just get away for a while.

    Great shot. But I think whats holding that thing together is lead paint.

    "Time is a valuable thing

    Got my vote, Anna. I'd listen to Howard, btw, 'n check that paint for lead. But if it is only as old as your bro, should be OK. Great moment you captured...

    Anna, got my vote. Very sweet sentimental-ness to the swingset. My oldest daughter is (12) and is a Linkin Park fan - she liked this shot a LOT too.

    i had an old swingset just like this, except it was red instead of blue.
    i spent many hours on it up until we moved away from the house where it was....
    very nice feel to the photo.
    i vote yes.
