Bench series #33

For the month of August I’m looking for a colourful bench

(This month I want to see photos of a bench that is painted or stained or otherwise coloured in some way. Not the plain wooden variety unless there is some colour detail)

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: August
  • 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 September.

My Picks of the Week:

Violetsky has an unusual colourful bench this week and Tgeriatrix has more mosaics from Spain. Colline is all hot-pink in Toronto and staying in Canada Amy takes us on  a delightful stroll with a bright blue bench at the end. Ruth finds some comfy ‘benches’ over in Tasmania that you might not want to sit in at the moment.

As always there are so many delightful benches to view, I hope you will check out the other links within the comment section.

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.

    1. It is a really lovely Mediterranean sky blue they use. Shame about the state yours is in, but very creative images. Thanks Kaz 🙂

        5. Haha, we can have lunch at the outdoor restaurant you can see in the background. It’s very popular. We’ll have a good view of the pseudo-bench. 🙂

    1. It is a church, but known as the cathedral of the Wealds as it is quite large and important. if you click on the Cranbrook link beneath the photo it will take you to a post about the town and the church.

  5. That must have taken the designer ages to do. I wonder if they started with a plan on paper, sort of colour by numbers approach?

    1. I imagine they must do. It would be a lot of fun designing it, a shame we don’t have more mosaic benches here.

  7. Very colourful.
    In retrospect, I realise my previous post might be appropriate for your bench series, but the benches are not the focal point of the photos. Does that matter? I’ll await your judgement before attaching a link.

    1. That’s funny (haha…) as I glanced at your recent post and immediately noticed the colourful benches! I didn’t comment as I have had visitors so only had time for a brief visit to other blogs, but YES, please link your post, that would be grand 😀

  10. Well this certainly got me thinking! I love bright colours and my flower/garden pictures are usually extremely colourful. I’ve searched through my pictures but can only find photos of benches in ‘tasteful shades’ … which is so not like me (or so I thought!) Looks like I’ve been editing pictures before I’ve even taken them! I’m now on the lookout for something to fit your theme this month so I can join in. In the meantime I’m following your blog and feeling inspired by all the beautiful photos taken by you and your readers.

    1. Thanks for your lovely comment Gillian and welcome aboard. If you read the Bench Photo Challenge Page (left menu) you can see what the themes are to come so you can keep your eye open for a bench that fits 😀
