For the month of July I’m looking for a bench with ‘Unusual Details’
(This month I want to see photos of a bench which is different to the norm. It may be the shape, style, length, height, colour, material or even location that attracts your attention)
This unusual bench is found in Abbotsbury Sub-tropical Garden in Dorset. Carved from a fallen oak tree the seating part is probably the least interesting. Just look at those hounds chasing the fox! (click on an image to enlarge and scroll through the gallery)
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: July
- 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 August.
My Picks of the Week:
Pauline got in early with her wonderful surfboard seats. Join her for a winter stroll along the Gold Coast. You’ll be filled with envy!
Another stroll with a lovely bench at the end from VioletSky so if you get tired you can have a rest. And Jo throws in a very industrial looking bench that she found on her walk. Debbie is back with a delicately engraved bench on the Fens and another engraved bench is provided by Anabel, this time with a lovely inscription. Julia has a techno bench and Isobel was drawn into the challenge when she found a poignant bench in Winchester.
There is a toss-up for the most unusual though, between another one from Pauline and one from Tgeriatrix. What do you think?
TRAVEL WORDS 
So many interesting benches- here’s mine this week https://dailymusing57.wordpress.com/2015/07/12/bench-series-12/
Very dainty!
Love how that lovely old tree has been given a second life as a work of art. Thanks for the mention of last weeks benches. Here is another one… https://memoriesaremadeofthisblog.wordpress.com/2015/07/13/bench-series-july-unusual-detail-2/
And that lovely fella who stalks you throughout your photography suits it so well 😀
(Hi Jack ❤ )
He says Hi back…
😀
You’re a hard bench to follow!
😀
Ok, I have linked this one but it’s also a walk for Jo and you have to scroll down Quite far for the bench so it might not cut the mustard. Still, I think a bench for a threesome is a bit unusual!
I shall be over shortly. Could do with a virtual walk, it is a bit wet here today
Here’s another bench for this months challenge.: https://anotherday2paradise.wordpress.com/2015/07/13/bench-series-28-a-very-wise-bench/
Love the carvings on this bench Jude. I’m looking forward to joining in once again this month and soon 🙂
Be lovely to see what you have found – I don’t seem to have that many unusual benches – well, not unusual compared to some of the ones I have seen linked to on here!
