Benches

I went for a quick drive to Balboa Park today. This is the seating for the pavilion where they have concerts. I just loved the patterns they formed and the fact that no one was sitting there!
I didn't cheat my macro challenge, this was shot with my macro lens. I got a little crazy with this one...HDR, B&W, Macro.
I love it!!
