Hi Nejat
I like the innocence in this shot. This game is probably an international game played all over the world by all children for many centuries. Your story and photo bring back memories of those innocent childhood days, and I sometimes wonder at what we have lost in the process of "growing up".

It looks like 'London Bridge is Falling Down'. I remember the game from childhood. The song went:
London Bridge is falling down
Falling down
Falling down
London Bridge is falling down
My fair lady.

Take the key and lock her up
Lock her up
Lock her up
Take the key and lock her up
My fair lady.

We would sind the second verse when someone was captured.

I like this candid scene of the children playing. Your framing is excellent.

great shot with an original frame:)

the name in Romanian is "podul de piatra s-a daramat" "the bridge of stone is falled down" - and now I see in english it's the same game:)

you know, at the partys the adults like to play it too lol

Hi Nejat...
This one is obviously universal! Action & mood nicely captured, I like to see the expression of the girl in the danger zone! pleasant composition and vivid colours...

Hello Nejat, this photo of the kids playing reminds me of my childhood. We were playing the same but I cannot remember the name of it.

You captured them well, good space between the kids and the sides. And your sky is dramatic!

Very well done. Take care, Yan :)

Nejat, good composition here - and warm intensive colours to match the subject!

I don't want to get spanked by my friend Anca (dada) 'cos i must tell i never played this game and sing "Podul de piatra s-a daramat/A venit apa si l-a luat/Vom face altul pe rau in jos/Altul mai trainic si mai frumos" :) i know the song and sing it everyday wit hmy daughter but I, from my little chilhood when i never knew about foreign languages, played the game and sang this, like in French:
"Le metro, le metro, le metro qui passe/
le metro, le metro, le metro passe/
Voila, voila, voila metro qui passe/
voila, voila, voila metro passe"
Only we interfered with languages as the children's folklore always do and established it like this: "Voila, voila mi-a luat perechea mea...."("Voila voila he took my pair") :)))))))) - as we played it in pairs and the last child didn't have a pair so he/she stealed one. :))))))
Another rectification: it's true we play it at parties, but that's only 'cos we're crrrrazzzzzzyyyy adults!!!!!! :)))))) (on Abba and BoneyM songs, of course....)

aww, great childhood moment. I like the colours in this, and that sky too, and the wide angleness. It's so cute how they step out of your frame. I rememmber it is london bridge as well, and the tune quite similar to Mary had a little lamb (if you know that one)

Hi Nejat,
nice photo moving me back in time when I was a kid. Nicely shown how the kids are strongly involved in the game. Nice colours. The photo gives impression of a collage (I am not speaking of the feet on the bottom frame - just the whole photo). Very well seen! tfs

Merhaba Nejat Bey,
cok guzel bir kare, oyunun butun ayrintilarini oyle guzel yansitmissiniz ki.. bildigimden mi bilmem ama sanki sarkiyi burdan duyar gibiyim..
bu oyunu daha once hic gormemis biri bile olsa su fotografla nasil oynandigini ve daha onemlisi cocuklar icin ne mana ifade ettigini rahatlikla anlar bence...

son 2 yildir duzcede yasiyor olmam itibariyle benim acimdan ayrica kiymetli bir fotograf.. benden baska birisi bir tane de olun duzceden bir fotograf yuklemis.. cok sevindim..

Elinize saglik,
Cihan Selcuk Eksi
