Swings In Time

Swings In Time

Ashover village playground has changed a lot since I used to play there as a child. All the old climbing frame, see-saw and large slide have gone, replaced with modern safety conscious alternatives. When viewed at a glance changes may be sharp and obvious, but look for a while and you start to notice the similarities. Multiple flash strobes were used to freeze the motion of the swings and allow the image to be taken in a single exposure.
