Linger Awhile by pflaume

Linger Awhile

I love park benches. In our busy world, they encourage us to slow down and linger for a moment, to observe and appreciate the beauty around us. I've been taking photos of benches since the project started, but haven't posted one yet. Today seems like a park bench kind of day.

Love your composition. Love the pop of blue. This is a very inviting place.

Really great composition and the blue fence is something to shoot more of too.

Great composition, lovely and tranquil shot

I see this as a study of shapes and patterns. The bench's vertical and horizontal slats, the blocky stones, and the matrix of the fence work well together.

great composition,lovely colours

A thoughtful composition of a peaceful scene. I like your reflective comments too - you're absolutely right about the need to slow down and appreciate what's around us. I think 365 helps a lot with that.

what a nice relaxing find! I like the bench next to the iron....very good shot...you should post more of your benches...they'd make a good series. I like boxes, so maybe I'll try to photo them.
March 16th, 2013  
@megmills That's a good idea, Meg! We should aim for a series - boxes and benches all the way!
