Standing Room Only

I was out for a walk this evening and I noticed this bench along the walking path. It was obvious that it hadn't been utilized for a while because of all the vines that had crept up, making the bench their home. The wood was wet, and it is beginning to rot, so I think it will need to be replaced before Spring.

Congratulations Rick on a great interview by nectar fish. You should post it on your page in case others don't get a chance to see it.

I like the textures of the wood in this shot ! To replace it with new would spoil the whole feel of this quiet place !

[bruni]

Like your caption..not very practical for the bench to be overgrown but it makes a beautiful picture. the more I see of black and white photography the more I like it and this picture if one of them.
