Thank you Alexeig for your comment.
That soft winter evening light, reflecting from snow with bluish hue is the reason I did not convert this image to monochrome. -Abstract

Nice winter light

CJ, you read my mind. chain-tree and swing-bench was the repetitive patterns i was aiming for.
Pedro, i am glad you liked the photograph. link to the earlier photo is underneath the image.
i appreciate your encouraging words. -Abstract

Superb. Didn't see the one before...but this is great.

I like this version better too Abs. I like the repetition of line with the chain and the tree. You get a sense of future good times here with the unoccupied bench facing the frozen lake and the empty swing. Nice composition! :-) CJ

Jano, i dont know how much it snowed...it was a lot though. yeah two oof swings in the background was my favourite part of the image too. although simplicity made this shot my favourite one.
Armin and Lee, i am glad you liked this image. thanks for your comments.

sound of silence...cool title, Rich.
aam, i didnt take any shots like that but if i happen to go in the area again, will give it a try.
Sharon, true. although look at the irony. 21st march was supposed to be the first day of spring. oh well!
Alexeig, i used to be in warmer southern part of the US (texas) but since last 2-3 years been enjoying white powder of the northern states in winter.
thanks for your comments. -Abstract

They really look sad hanging like this. Where are you located? Somehow I thought that you are from more southern climes

Very nice, Abs! A little sad but an evocative reminder of the fun and games in the past and to come. ~Sharon

If I were to suggest something I would say it would've been nice if you moved a little to the left so only the two "things" are in the frame. Just a thought.

Nice, the sounds of silence.
