Photographer's Note
Her name is Kasia and she is from Lviv, western Ukraine...
She was playing with her grandmother in the surroundings of the building of circus (it's half way between the railway station and the city centre)... Around the circus there is a playground somehow strange in its look: concrete figures of animals, made many years ago with colour paint now peeling off in flakes and with small ceramic tiles coming off as well.
The concrete bear mom takes care of swings, her bear children sit in sand pit, monkey faces are half smiling from above the swings, the concrete elephant has a metal slide instead of a trunk: children can go through its head and slide down...
Next to it there is a music band: concrete silhouettes with concrete musical instrument (one moustached musician can be seen on the left of this picture)...
If they have ever played music here it must have stopped when make-up from their faces started to come off and their instruments started to lose slabs of concrete...
Anyway children find this place quite interesting...

Hi Adam, great shot! I like her smile, she looks so content with the world. Also the detail in her clothing & headgear, the nice soft light on background vegetation, and the very interesting sculpture in the immediate foreground. I don't like the piece of sculpture on the left that reminds me of a satelite dish. But everything else is great!
