Challenge 718: The Peace Garden
Challenge 718: The peace garden I walked past this curious site in London a couple of weeks ago. You can just get a glimpse of the 'peace garden' through the railings - but access to it is denied by both a security handle and a stout chain and padlock. You're invited to contact CityWest Homes for access, but they give you no suggestion for how to do so. Can you show how an "over 55s peace garden" - whatever that is - might be improved? High res is here.  _________________ Leap and the net will appear |

The muse has truly abandoned me on this one. I keep staring at it blankly wondering what to do. Hopefully later in the week I can find something decent to offer .........  _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Re: Challenge 718: The Peace Garden
As someone who is already many, many years beyond that point I am having difficulty concurring with the two contributors who apparently equate over 55 with deceased.  _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

If I'd had even an inkling of what a surprising amount of work this would prove to be for such a lightweight concept I would never have started ..........

Re: Challenge 718: The Peace Garden
It was the connotation of 'peace' and 'garden' together that gave me the idea, not the 55+. I too, am well beyond the curve. My next entry is more light-hearted and not nearly so 'grave'...  as always. I remain puzzled.
