Category: Bench Challenge

I am an eclectic photographer and one of my ‘quirks’ is photographing benches. It may be an ordinary park bench or one with intricate details; it could be a bench with a view or one strategically placed to provide a rest on a stiff walk.

Bench Challenge Anniversary

Way back in 2015 – yes that really is ten years ago – I decided to post photos of the numerous benches sitting in my folders. It seemed that I was not alone and suddenly it turned into the Bench Challenge where I set a particular criterion each month and people joined in posting their bench photos. It was a lot of fun and I met a lot of wonderful bloggers through it.

A new bench spotted in Trelissick Gardens this year (2025)

This year I am returning to mark the occasion by posting a bench photo every Sunday. There will not be any particular theme set this year so it’s not really much of a challenge, but if there is anyone out there who still has a bucketful of bench photos and would like to join me, then please do so by adding a link in the comments or a link to my post in yours (a pingback) and I will happily pop along to admire.
