Bench series #16

For the month of April I’m looking for benches with a view

If you would like to join in with the Bench photo challenge then please take a look at my Bench Series page. No complicated rules, just a bench and a camera required 🙂

  • Create your own post and title it Bench Series: April
  • Include a link to this page in your post so others can find it too
  • Add the tag ‘bench series’ so everyone can find the benches easily in the WP Reader
  • Get your post in by the end of the month, as the new bench theme comes out on the first Sunday in May.

My Picks of the Week:

Some that I particularly liked this week are from Jo, who managed to capture a few benches into her weekly walking post. Pauline has a bench on a ship – don’t get many of those on here! Karen (formerly Elizabeth) has benches galore on one of my favourite walks around Sydney. And I particularly like those curvy ones.
If you are a Francophile you will enjoy this view from Klara.
A new entrant this month is soletusknow with a lovely soft photo of a bench practically IN the water. Aletta’s bench is deceptive – don’t get too comfy. And finally Yvette has a tour around Washington DC, with a bench of course.

Thanks to everyone who joined in – more links can be found within the comments so do have a look around.

Heyjude

I have lived in the UK for most of my life, but when young I definitely had wanderlust and even ended up living in South Africa for several years which was a wonderful experience. I now look forward to a long and leisurely retirement doing what I like most - gardening, photography, walking and travelling.

  3. That picnic bench is so tiny next to the trees and that huge mountain of rock. I’d feel someone breathing down my neck if I sat there for a snack. Wonderful picture. 🙂

    1. You’d get a crick in the neck staring up at the ‘rock’, there are mountains all around you, but it felt quite open on the ‘beach’. Just wish we’d had a picnic!

    1. Have you been to Yosemite Lisa? Not too far from you. I’d like to go there in summer when the wild flowers are in bloom.

  9. Jude my eyes gazed upward to the cliff and then the picnic table came into my peripheral view. Looking so tiny under the massive rock face. I love this photo. I can’t even tell you exactly why but it feels so very clever to me. 🙂

        2. Oh I highly recommend it! I have relatives in Nova Scotia and have been a handful of times. Absolutely spectacular!

        4. I would be happy to chat about it Jude. I have not been to the other Maritime provinces, something that must be fixed, but I definitely know lots of folks who have.

  10. I’m going to echo Sue Slaght’s comment. I thought it was a “wow” to see the massive stone wall with the trees dwarfed in front of it … then the tiny little bench came into view. What a beautiful shot! I want to be there 🙂
