The Laughter of Children, a photo from Ontario, Central

Photographer's Note

I just really like the little no kids sign in the playground. I think it's kindof funny that we spray dangerous chemicals around our living spaces ON PURPOSE. So play and be merry little kiddies...

This is a kids playground in a suburb of Toronto. In the new neighbourhoods they all look like this now, big puffy plastic, low to the ground, boring things. I don't know about you guys but I prefer the old ones, the ones with tall metal slides, nets, poles and monkey bars. You could hurt yourself on those things... and that's what made em fun!

I like this one of yours. What makes it for me is that it looks like you got down to a childs level. Seeing the park from their point of view.

**I like the old parks better too!

Hi Alex
An interesting shot of signs (I added some of my pictures to the theme; and I have more, not posted yet).
About the old kids playgrounds, I agree with you. Well, maybe because nowadays I go there... with my children :-)
