Black and White

So this weeks theme at I Heart Faces is "Dramatic Black and White." In February, a local park here in Tennessee was completely destroyed due to arson. I can't even begin to understand why someone would do this. Its just sheer selfishness and ignorance. "Project Play" as it was called, was a park that was built and funded completely by volunteers several years ago. It was devastating news to this small community. It was known to the kids as the "castle park." My kids loved playing at this park. Here is a link to a picture of what it looked like beforehand. Here is a link to a picture of the fire. The community is pulling together to rebuild the park. This is what is left.

  6. What a touching photo. A child on a burned playground. Wow!
    About two summers ago, our town built a playground, we raised the money as a community and 200 volunteers worked from dawn til dusk for a week. I know how devastated we'd be if something like this happened. I hope they catch your arsonist and the playground is rebuilt better than ever.
