I also like this one of the children who are in one sense part of the neighborhood and in another, swinging way up over the rooftops. The girl reminds me on myself right now, with school about to start again, pumping for all she's worth to get the last bit of joy from her summer (or her childhood).It also reminds me of my grandchildren. Jeff being observant and reflective, trying to figure it all out, to see the layout of the streets, the construction of the houses, and looking for a big truck, wondering how it will seem to him from way up here. And Megan feeling the thrill of the height, the power of her own body, marveling at the rush of the wind, grasping for every ounce of joy in the moment.
And how about that fence? What's it's meaning?

Maybe the fence, which seems to the kids to be a barrier, becomes a shelter to a more mature mind. Then I remember going back to see a house, quite huge in my childhood memory only to be amazed at how small and insignificant it is in my adulthood.
You even review pictures well!
By the way, I loved the comparison of the kids in the picture to Jeff and Megan!
I almost picked the kids swinging picture as my favorite on Carpe Crustulum. The comparison to Megan and Jeff is perfect. The picture really does represent them well.
Myke's favorite didn't download on my computer, but I really enjoyed the library picture, the observatory and the flashlight on the earth. I looked at the second series but the 3rd series also wouldn't download. I love both of your pics. It's amazing how creative people are.
Myke, I like your interpretation of the fence. Very thoughtful.
Aly and Framed, I'm on my way to Carpe Crustulum to find out what your favorites were.
