All the parents are gone. The park is quiet. The swings and slides lie dormant and unused. An empty buggy .. Fitzgerald Park on a quiet day.
Black and White
Black and white photography has been around for years but it continues to be popular. I love black and white pictures because the color doesn’t distract from the light, shape and texture of the subject.
