I like the pink glow. It looks far too cold for the children who are all at home where it is warm.

Another beautiful photo, Eddy! I love the brightly coloured equipment for the children to enjoy (when it is warmer). Although this is a winter scene, the pink glow of the sky adds warmth. Beautiful!

Brrrr....I'm not surprised the children are not in the park, it looks like the weather is very cold in your location at present. Hey, but the empty park takes on a whole new feeling with it so empty, very good work.

A nice color in the sky and the reds of the playground equipment have a nice punch. But I find it surprising to see so many large rocks and stones in the play area.

There is nothing lonelier than a playground with no children.

I like the coloring of the sky and the black spots between the colors and the white on the ground. I think the children are busy making snowmen :).

Perfect title for your image. The kids will certainly warm up the playground.

If you wait for at least two months, all children will be back!

Wow, I never knew that Tehran could get that much snow. It looks like you got more than we did and we usually get at least one blizzard every winter. We've only gotten a couple of slushy inches this winter although the winter is not over yet.
There is a powerful sense of loneliness in the empty playground.
