This picture depicts the scene of some elderly people engaging in a game in a nursing home. One old lady had tossed a ball to a younger lady, who is probably the nurse in charge of that activity as she is dressed in a nurse uniform. I can see that it is scene of a nursing home because all the elderly pepole are dressed somewhat similar to one another. Most of them are wheelchair bound and they are also positioned in a circle and not scattered everywhere.

In the background is the scenery that is being viewed out from the windows of an enclosed area. The elderly people are positioned on a nicely tiled floor and there are lights and fans on the ceiling. One old lady is tossing the ball to the nurse . By looking at the fixed gaze on the ball, i can see that the other elderly people seemed engrossed in the game as well. There is another nurse half squatting on the floor, preparing to assist.

Perhaps these elderly people are parents of working people and are sent here by their children who might be unable to take care of them due to time constraint. These elderly people are placed in the same room and positioned in a circle. Perhaps it is the games time for the elderly people to excercise while having fun.

The bespectacled wheelchair bound old lady at the right hand corner of the picture seems to be enjoying the game. From her enthusiastic participation, she appears to be enjoying herself while the other elderly people are eagerly waiting for their turn.

Before this picture was taken,the elderly people were probably all just sent to the nursing home by their children before the children leave for work. This nursing home could be a neighnbourhood nursing home near residential areas so that adults can convieniently bring their parents to the nursing home in the morning when they leace for work and bring them home when they return. This way, adults can work with an ease of mind and not have to keep worrying about their parents being left alone at home. Also, elderly people may get bored being left at home alone, especially when they are wheelchair bound and walking around is a difficult thing to do. Going to a nursing home will allow elderly people to ineract with one another and the elderly people will not feel bored. This way, it is like a win-win situation for both the adults and their elderly parents.

If i were to give this picture a title, I would call it "Engrossed in a Game". If I were the elderly beside the one who had just tossed the ball, I would be thinking :"YES. IT IS FINALLY MY TURN!"
