You feel like nobody loves you, the sky is grey, your mood bleak and your spirit weary? A weekend walk in the countryside and a break on this loving bench will soon set you to rights.
It’s August bench challenge time – and this month our eyes are open for colourful benches, benches with personality, benches that have that extra something. Luckily I have been manically snapping away every time I see a bench and I literally love this one photographed in nearby Germany on the Tüllinger hill see also this post. A short drive across the border and you are in a different world.

That is exactly what I need!

If I were clever enough to know how to insert photos with my comment I would send you a picture of Larry sitting on a bench at the Vanderbilt Estate overlooking the Hudson River– so lush and green. It might even be worthy of your bench parade Poli!
🙂 oh wouldn’t that be lovely! it does sound as though it’s very worthy – doesn’t Larry want to be put on your blog in the photo? I think there is an upcoming bench challenge coming up with people on them .)!!!!I don think you can add photos to comments – you’d have to send by mail to the polianthus address! i would love to see it
if your image is uploaded into your WP media library then you can include the URL to the image in a comment. You have to edit the image first to copy the URL and then paste it into the comment: https://smallbluegreenwords.files.wordpress.com/2015/08/red-benches.jpg
And if you would like to join in with the bench challenge then you are more than welcom Rhonda – check out the very flexible rules at https://smallbluegreenwords.wordpress.com/bench-series/

good for you Jude! thanks for the comment
Whoa– thanks for real information Jude– but I think you’re a little over my head– I do have good tech help around. See what I can do!! thanks!
Isn’t that a fab bench? Nothing like a walk to lift the heart – with or without a bench.
Now that is a unique bench, never seen one with hearts before! What is the meaning of all those rock piles/cairns raised above the ground like that?
Hi Jude – wow – a unique bench, one you haven’t seen before, I am just a teensy bit proud of myself for finding it! I have no idea what the meaning is, it seemed to me to be someones place of meditation, peace, but it’s just by the path as you walk by so I have no idea at all, I googled rock cairn (remembering the ones I saw in Mongolia) and came across this article http://escholarship.org/uc/item/99h4b4q7 – amazing how other scientists spend their time and how little of the world I have seen although I have been trying to see as much as I can!
Thanks to the interweb we can learn something new every day! In actual fact I learn an awful lot through the blogs I read and the comments people make. It is a lovely sociable space.
too true! have a lovely sunday Jude
I do love finding benches in the middle of nowhere. They are always pointed at wonderful views as well 🙂 love your photos x
thank you!
I love reading the inscriptions that some have too 🙂
A lovely bench & what a lovely area to be in! 🙂
