You know i love to see images that tell a story but that at the same time leave something to my own imagination. That is what you have hear, as you mention in your about. I find it touching! Nice title as well. Funny i can see the swing, moving and swinging as it were, and hear the sound of children playing. My imagination filling in the holes in the story :)
By the way, the answer to your questions is "Yes" i did get my feet wet :) I enjoy making "Landart" and am a big fan of Andi Goldsworthy! Do you know him? Try a Google search and you will see what i mean. Great artist!
