For Marnie - Splinters

Last week Marnie @golftragic posted a photo of a bench that probably had lots of splinters in it.

When I saw this seat at Tahlee it brought to mind Marnie's photo.

The view from here looks out over the water and the swimming pool at Tahlee and if you look closely you can see Tahlee House in the top left corner of this photo.

I didn't risk sitting on this bench, not only for the risk of getting splinters in my bum but because although I would be able to get down there it would be a hell of a job getting up again.

@golftragic Here you go Marnie, I took this photo for you because it reminded me of the photo you took last week.

I think I would have to send for the NRMA to get me up again if I sat on this one and then send for an ambulance so the medics could remove the splinters from my bum.

[Maggiemae]

Loved what you said, @onewing - we all know exactly what you mean but splinters in the bum - we now need leather trousers!

[Dawn]

Lol loved what you said about splinters but also difficulty in getting up again

[Beryl Lloyd]

That is what you call rustic and legless !! h ha ! -- no hopes of getting up from that !!

[Ethel]

My first thought was the same as yours, Babs. If i sat on that I would never get up again without a crane being ordered in. Wot fun

[Carole Sandford]

It does look low to the ground, I wonder if it once had legs...

[FBailey]

Very rustic!

[Gina Rieck]

Not made for comfort.

[Dione Giorgio]

I would need somebody to help me up if I were to sit on that bench for some time. Perhaps it's intended for children. Makes a lovely ornament, still.

[Joyce]

Interesting bench and a great shape. I agree about the splinters though!

[Valerie Chesney]

Great shot but, not a great seat!

[Diana]

Great find and shot Babs, I could maybe get down there but will have to stay there 😉

[Myrna O'Hara]

Cool find. Wonder if they willed in the ground around it. I wouldn't be able to get up from it either.

[Lou Ann]

Oh my, it’s too low for me!

[sally agnew]

Very quirky, I wonder if it ever gets sat upon :)

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Great capture of that really interesting looking seat. I doesn't look very comfortable. LOL

[Henri Russell]

Interesting bench. I would have trouble getting up too.

[Merrelyn]

I'm pretty sure that I would be able to get up, but it certainly wouldn't be with any degree of elegance :)

[gloria jones]

Neat find and capture

[carol white]

Great find, it does look rather rough to sit on

[Casablanca]

Ouch! and funny......getting down is the easy part. Getting up, less so!

[Yao RL]

The advantage of living by the seaside. it just needs a few legs.

[Pat Knowles]

I could find it extremely hard to get up from that low bench! Beautiful natural bench though but only for the young & agile!

[KWind]

What a great bench!

[Lois]

Great textures. Looks like it would be difficult to stand up again!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I think this poor bench not only has splinters but it seems to have lost its legs as well. I'm sure the view is nice though. good catch! (I would not be able to get up from it either!)

[Pyrrhula]

Great shot of the interesting bench and nice place.

[Helen Jane]

Perhaps not the most comfortable looking of benches I have ever seen. But makes a good photo.

@maggiemae @Dawn @beryl @ethelperry @carole_sandford @fbailey @gmonty @sangwann @thistle @happysnaps @ludwigsdiana @sailingmusic @louannwarren @hermann @mittens @henrir @merrelyn @seattlite @carolmw @casablanca @yaorenliu @happypat @kwind @loweygrace @olivetreeann @pyrrhula Ha ha, glad it made you smile. It would appear that lots of you are in the same boat as me so to speak and would have problems getting up again from this seat. I decided to take in the view from a standing position rather than sitting. Probably a wise move.
I hope the legs on this bench were never there rather than having been eaten by termites.

[Taffy]

It's a very cute looking bench, but quite funny to read the connection to Marnie's with the idea of slivers.

[Kathy A]

Thats a very interesting seat, how anyone would be able to get up from sitting on it I have no idea

[CC Folk]

It is a cool looking bench but quite low! Too bad it isn't chair height and more tourist friendly. :)

[Marnie]

Hhahaha!!! I'd be exactly the same boat Babs. OA sucks.

[Marnie]

Gives a whole new meaning to being legless!!

[Jennifer Eurell]

Did someone forget the legs!

[Babs]

@taffy @kjarn @gardenfolk I didn't dare sit on it I would have need help to get up again.

[Babs]

@golftragic Definitely legless. None of us were game enough to sit on it

[Denise Wood]

Definitely legless!!!

[Ann Williams]

Ouch! A seat for pixies maybe?

[Claude Trew]

Oh I love this bench. I usual photograph benches every where I go. One day I will make a book of "Benches of the World".

[Suzanne]

It would take me quite a while to get back up off this!

[Margo]

most unusual

[Babs]

@gilbertwood I didn't dare sit on it.

@flowerfairyann Definitely.

@claudiet What a great idea. I have a friend who takes photos of sheds and he is thinking of putting them all together in a photobook.

@suzanne234 Me too.

@777margo It is close to the swimming pool and sandpit so maybe it is designed for kids to sit on.
