Description
It don't mean a thing (if it ain't got that swing) Duke Ellington
I took this shot when I entered the garden of a 18th century villa in a small town on the outskirts of Padova. The villa is usually closed and can be rented for events, in case you may fancy it. Usually also the garden is closed, but the gate was left open by someone, and by chance I was there at the right moment. I succeeded in taking a number of shots, then the warden kindly told me the garden was closed to strangers. Actually, we spent some minutes chatting about this and that. The old, forlorn swing and the lonely, empty bench told me a story of children that won't swing and nannies that won't fuss any longer. I left the garden and its kind warden in a melancholic mood.
Thank you for your kind comments.

~Wonderful capture of this lonely atmosphere!~
What a truly magnificent shot Sandra, and we are so lucky you went to all that trouble to get this pic of it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on that day and the stories he shared with you.
Ohhh....Amazing capture and fabulous effects, this is really amazing, looks so mysterious, fantastic atmosphere! Well done! ***********
and the warden was pleased he had a nice person to talk to.very nice ambiente in this shot.
EXCELLENT!
Very peaceful scene.
Moody scene nicely captured.
a beautiful whistful scene, wonderfully executed
Why this picture makes me think about it "Grand Meaulnes", this kind of unique and surreal story written by a French writer? great shot, almost esoteric for me!
A lovely but sad capture. A play area without the children is a very sad place indeed.
Fantastic composition!!!
A picture with a story - excellent work Sandra!

Perfect title for a stunning image. This speaks of happier times when the garden bloomed with the laughter of children. Forlorn indeed.
