Empty Playground

Challenge #32 in the The Landscape Club series. Hosted by Bren Dyer.

Challenge has finished

Time to get spooky with an empty playground. The image must scream out loneliness and isolation. maybe throw some light painting into the mix, a fog machine if you have one available. Think about your post processing and also your settings. A grungy black and white treatment? Film Noir? Something to suit a Hitchcock movie?

A chillingly dystopian scene. The lack of swings on the frames add to the hollowness. Well captured, and indeed a perfect fit to Bren's brief.
