On Footloose and Fancy Free...

Via Knockturn
"On the swing ride at the Hampstead Heath Fair, England, 28 March 1932".

Carnival or playground, I have always loved swings... but there's something about this picture that's especially hopeful. These women had more personal freedoms than any of their many times great-grandmothers before them, and while unrest was brewing, Europe was not yet in the throes of war. It was okay to just be happy and free.
