A perfect plaything

by mimecine

A perfect plaything in the playground in Stockholm. Helmets not allowed… Located in Södermalm, the southern part of the city, in a semi-forgotten place. Wouldn’t it be great if all playgrounds were art to climb on not fake tree houses in primary colors. Make a house but make it fantastic !
