Bench Life 8

Yes it had to happen. The approach of winter and all the weather it entails meant there was always going to be a bench shot without any benchees. A couple of guys approached the bench and felt it but decided it was too wet, a lone pigeon pottered by but this blurry guy striding past summed up the day best...Might be the last bench shot for a while.

[Rudi Teruel]

love the color tone and texture of the shot, richard... great job...

[Tan man]

Thnaks Richard.I have enjoyed your bench shots. look for ward to the spring then

[Chimom]

[Rebecca Doyle]

This is an excellent wintery shot - almost makes me feel cold and like rugging up (if it wasn't for the hot weather here down under as summer fast approaches!)..... :)

[Mariana Pessoa]

Very cool shot :)

[Steve Harvey]

I love the bench series.

[Dorrena Ortega]

I've got the same issue with my gardening pictures. The pictures over the winter may be sparse but I bet you can still get plenty of variety in them. Keep in mind we are here waiting for the next picture in your series. ;-)

[Richard Tyson]

@dmortega @seattle To be honest it's mostly down to the fact that I won't have to go to London for work for a few months. I am thinking I could make a special journey maybe, but it's a 400 mile round trip!

[Dorrena Ortega]

Ok, well we will all have to wait along with you. Now is the time to work on your other series. ;-)

[Richard Tyson]

@dmortega Maybe a couple of other 365ers could keep the bench fires blazing over the winter. I'd love to see a snow one!

[Dorrena Ortega]

Hmmmm .... good idea. Ask them. I'd love to see a snow one too.

[Laerke Thorndal]

A cool entry to the bench series!

[Margaret Tryon]

This is really excellent. I love everything about this shot.

It's great now we can actually see what the bench looks like (the part you sit on)...fabulous shot!

[Carole Neesam]

Fantastic shot,it really conveys the terrible weather we are having x

[FunnyFace]

Nice one for the series!! It looks sad there tho, all lonely!

[Annie Charalambous]

Oh wow, it looks so bare and lonely! I love this though

[Aaron L]
