Kune', a Korean type swing. It is entirely common to see people ride such swings standing up often two people will face one another as they ride. This picture shows an interesting scene in which one person sits on the swing, two standing on the shoulders of those below above them a rather fragile looking branch bends under their weight. The tree, which has only one very strong branch, seems to be a perfect 'swing tree'.
