A place to sit and ponder by fishers

A place to sit and ponder

I couldn't help noticing this empty bench outside of the remains of a medieval hospital here in York. With the glorious sunshine, it looks like the perfect place to sit and ponder life, the universe, and everything.

Dad featured this set of remains in his solo project ( http://365project.org/if1/365/2012-06-21 ) and here's what he found out about the history:

"St Leonard's Hospital, in the Museum Gardens in York, was the largest medieval hospital in England and cared for the infirm and ill of the city. It also fed the poor, and the condemned, providing meals for the prisoners in York Castle.

Only the undercroft remains, and this is it's south-western wall."

I could ponder a lot there.

A great pov - the seat gives scale to the size of the ruin. Nicely done,

It would be nice to sit here in the sun - guess it could be quite sheltered there.

I often find beauty in empty benches...the contemplations or the stories they hold...love this.

You have no idea how inviting your photo was for today. The sunshine in your capture was a welcome sight for our -2 degree weather.

Makes you wonder how many people have done exactly that over the years
