Best seat in the house...

Or, it was!
Found this thing sitting along the road side. It looked almost like someone has arranged it into a little living space.
I have to take a moment and thank everyone for all the great comments and taking the time to stop by! I can never get back to everyone so if I haven't had a chance to visit your project, I hope to soon! Love you guys!

I think I'd prefer standing room only to planting my ass on that (lol).

[Julz]

Awesome! That happened in my neighborhood a couple years ago. http://365project.org/julz/365/2011-03-13

[☠northy]

crazy=a$$ find! but i agree with @cromwell - no way on earth am i sitting on that thing!

[Kristin]

It does look like it was well-loved in its day. Oh, the bums it has seen...

[Arthur Kogutowski]

That is so surreal.

[joey d.Muli]

love IKEA----lol !!----great find:)

[Monika]

Haha, Back in November Leonie @onie and I stumbled across an abandoned couch (Lounge) we did sit on it. http://365project.org/monika64/365/2012-11-03
I'm thinking of starting a 'show me..." discussion thread

[Leonie Mogridge]

@monika64
It was not in as good a condition as Jerry's find!!! But at least ours was on the beach!!

[Nicole Campbell]

Cool find Jerry - @monika64, I know of one placed on the roof of a house, I might need to do a drive by.

[jerry plume]

@nicolecampbell Now you've gotta get a shot of that!

[Nicole Campbell]

@orangecrush - I will make it my mission to do so. :)

[Monika]

@onie @orangecrush
I have started a couch discussion :) http://365project.org/discuss/general/16413/show-me-your-abandoned-couches-lounges-sofas

[Monika]

@nicolecampbell and post it to the above discussion :)

[Caroline]

Once was lovely probably. Now sadly abandoned, or still someone's outside sofa depending on the neighborhood.

[Karen]

Yes it sure does look like it belongs there. Great find and capture.

[Nicole Campbell]

@monika64 - I will. I will try and take it tomorrow.

[Kimberly Balychev]

Maybe it's out for the wild animals .... Ya know... A raccoon party or something ;) super find! Made me smile =D

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

LOVE it!!!! a couch on a roof.......

[TC]

For a minute I thought this was my neighbor's place...must have been a special on these outdoor sofas as they all look the same....cigarette butts and all!

[Cisco]

like the colors!

[Matt F.]

Great colors and contrast!

[jerry plume]

@tctime Lol! You've seen one...

[bkb in the city]

great find

[Lib Creative]

great capture

[Janette]

great find, love it!

[Jan Hall]

Very artfully arranged with the plants in the background. Well spotted!

[Sue Wilde]

Beautiful processing

[Teresa (pocketmouse)]

Looks comfy... :D

[Teri]

I am afraid of the stories that sofa could tell!

[Cassandra Hoffmann]

Great shot. Some abandoned lounges are photogenic.

[Morné Grewe]

vey cool shot Jerry!

[Nic L Taylor]

thats art ..what a find Jerry

[Richard]

wicked shot

[Tom]

great mix of man made "grime" (probably too strong a word, but it's too early in the morning for my brain) and natural beauty! like the contrast too.

[Mark Lynham]

bet it could tell some stories :-)

[Cathy]

Love your styling of your outdoor space... lol

[SIMMY]

Great shot, what a find

[Katia]

neat composition and editing jerry! well done you! :)

[Sue Boyd]

Cool capture!

[Karen H]

Lol great find and spotting

[Yvonne]

It really does look like someone has arranged it--just needs a little side table ; ) Great find, Jerry.

[trude]

yep i agree with Cromwell, i would rather stand thanks very much, lol! Great find and shot:)

[Margaret Tryon]

Good find Jerry. It needs a coffee table.

[Paula]

on a cold winter day this comfy couch makes me wants to sit down and stay a bit

[Sally Ings]

What a cool find, excellent photo op! I wonder sometimes what one would think if you saw this without a photographers mind!

[Jerri]

wow, how funny that mine was posted yesterday too with seat title. love this of course! fascinating subject to me. i love the collection Monika put up!

[Rick Schies]

The color and everything, looks like this is where it should be

[stephanie dp]

love it! what a great find. so random and awesome.

[Anwan]

Fabulous shot! I love all the low-saturation colors in the shot, and the textures. Abandoned chairs and sofas are sometimes so photogenic. Maybe go back there with some more living room props and a model?

[Laura Thornton]

Love the lush green next to the desolate look of everything else. Great capture!

[☯ Sarah ☁]

Awesome find, never find anything like that around here as they are picked up & taken to somebody's shack as soon as one gets put down somewhere!!!

[Laurie Higgins]

That is a bit surreal, Jerry! At first I thought you photoshopped the couch in, but then I read the commentary. Very cool, indeed!

[Henri Russell]

@monika64 It looks like it could be the same/or related to the sofa Monika found. Unusual find along the side of the road.

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

Love the textures and the 3D look!

[Emlar]

I enjoy the composition!

[Cindy McFarland]

Oh this takes the cake! Great find.

[Paula]

Love it!

[TerriTh]

Probably 49ers fans left it there

[Janet Shaffer]

Great find!

[Wendy]

Fabulous find -- wonder who the "exterior decorator" was!

[Kate D.]

nice find Jerry!

[Paul Myers]

Nice. did you do a little tonemapping or hdr to this?

[jerry plume]

@webfoot Thanks, Paul! I did an HDR and then desaturated the shot. In layers I brought back the original hdr on the couch and a little bit in the palms

[Paul Myers]

Fantastic job.

[Aleksandra]

Great find and shot!

[Jesse Hurler]

seriously awesome, great one Jerry!

[Paula]

Awesome and surreal!

[aikiuser (jenn)]

Such a nice living room withnall those plants. ;-)
Way cool image you've created from such a mess!

[Pam Hawkes]

How random is that! Great capture!

[Stephanie Dc]

Cool capture !

[Elizabeth]

Love how light and cololrful the backgrond is and how dark and grungy the sofa is.

[Gloria]

Oddly unsettling
Very well spotted

[Lisa Pouncy]

Looks a bit worse for wear. Very generous of the owners to give passers by something to sit on! xx

[Ana Lu Gonzalez H]

Nice shot.

[Lisa]

awesome find, love it

[Ellen E]

great composition. I often photograph furniture on the curb because it makes me think of my husband who always comments "Just yesterday, that was considered acceptable to be in the house."

[Rach_who]

A chair with a view
