andy – what a shot- your depth depiction pulls us right in – and the bench looks el grande – also – the water drops and iron add to the mood of the shot….
interesting – and just curious as to how many shots you took – this is just such cool angle
oh man, it took me at least 6 shots to get it right because I took it with my camera phone and so the textures kept getting messed around with the low light, I must of looked like a madman to people passing by lol!
a madman – ha!
Well I was bouncing around a bench lol
yeah, I get it – and I am still smiling to imagine it – and you know – this photo taking stuff just keeps us fun.
And this is different – but relates – but when we were coming home from an event downtown, I was able to get everyone to climb on this huge concrete block under the bridge we were going unde r- and as they kinda seemed to have fun climbing up and then stood in a “tough pose” – I took the shot and later one of my sons said it was cool to see the streets from up there!
so sometimes this snapping pictures things just gets us looking at a bench in a new angle – or gives us a a reason to climb up – look out- and maybe see a new perspective…
That’s the beauty of photography, You just never know what you might capture WHILE taking a photo of something else, I take a photo of ‘everything’ that catches my eye, random stuff from my inner voice telling me ‘Hey that’s neat!’ just gotta listen for it 🙂
That is so great to do – I really need to do that more – well i do listen for it – but I think i am being stretched to just get more background stuff just in case – – For example, while looking at some old trip pics – I have one of my son sitting in this street musician’s chair playing the guy’s instrument (it was the guy’s suggestion – working for tips) and well, in my photo – nothing of that cool guy – argh. and even around here with local shots – I am trying to look at the grander scene – just in case they speak to me later – hmmmm
It’ll come to you, just when you least expect it 🙂
🙂 thx – and have a good day…
Cheers! 🙂 🙂
Hey andy, I am not sure if you do any other challenges besides the WPC – but you really should work with your cool bench shots for Hey Jude’s bench challenge this month –
and andy – here is one more challenge I think you will really like – (with your creative outpouring) – it is Paula’s Thursday special – and she usually picks some “rich” words – that seem to incite some good ideas… https://bopaula.wordpress.com/category/thursdays-special/
Thank you! I will be visiting them now 🙂 I wonder if they would mind that I linked the posts to them? don’t want to repost and spam the timeline 😀
well in my opinion – I do not think they mind anything (both are very polite and welcoming hostesses – ya know) but what do you mean spam the timeline?
I often want to share more stuff but I don’t want to like post 4 posts or 5 and all people see is me lol I see that often lately
yeah, that is your gentleman good nature side – but oh my goodness I do not think you would ever come close to excess -(and maybe that is because you are mindful of that!) – and your current flow now is nice – (dense, meaty posts- and or a tasty photo- either or or sometimes both – ha).
LOL that’s how Random I am I guess! It just make me nervous sometimes, because I am just so not a fan of this one blogger that posts an average of 6 posts back to back and I have to scroll to find new ones :O sigh lol
dude- I actually had to unfollow a couple of people for that very reason – and I still plan on dropping by – but they were “clogging my reader” – ha!
There’s this blogger..something or other ‘pink’ oh man 8 daily! i swear, 8! to be honest i’m filtering out non readers already oof
hahha – I hear ya – and there is one other kind of blogger that I had to stop folioing – there was one who I could tell was fabricating details – it is okay to write fiction – but when you present it as fact – or as what really happened to you that morning – I have issue with it. I did write them about it too (gently too) and just said my “BS” meter went off as I read many of his coffee shop chats – and had to unfollow for that reason –
Try working with someone like that, I did for a period of time and this one would ‘not’ shut up, like honestly just kept talking and talking and laying it so thick my boss had to lay him off lol
that is funny – and another reminder that restraint and manners are a very good thing – 🙂 ❤
Oh very! heck I almost wanted to buy a muzzle just because he wouldn’t stop! ugh lol
I’m so fortunate our YMCA has a nice indoor track. I love it some of the days lately, but I’ve also been forcing myself to be outside running. It’s not been too bad here lately as far as cold or precip, thankfully. Have fun, Andy!
There’s nothing like the fresh air to make a run super invigorating no matter how many air filters they put in the buildings 🙂
Great depth of field here and one of my favourite subjects too – a bench!! So glad you decided to link it to my bench challenge (and I thank Yvette for pointing you in my way). If you have any other benches that fit into the theme then I would love to see them. This is one seriously delicious shot 🙂
Jude https://smallbluegreenwords.wordpress.com/bench-series/
Great composition and love the angle and the way the rain drops sparkle. I found you from Jude’s bench series. Pleased to see you are going to find some more to show us.
Benches have a way of just sneaking into photos. I have been going back through my past photos and I am amazed at how many I am finding. Now I also look for them as a subject on their own like this great image you have shot.
Luckily for me it’s been raining lately so most benches are completely empty lol 🙂
It has been raining quite a lot over here too. Wet but warm and humid…

This is a crazy-great shot! 🙂
Thank you! 😊😊
andy – what a shot- your depth depiction pulls us right in – and the bench looks el grande – also – the water drops and iron add to the mood of the shot….
Thank you! 🙂 🙂 I credit the crappy weather we’ve been having here in Vancouver two weeks ago, this was like literally after a downpour 🙂

Amazing ! I liked the lines very much 🙂

So many depths to the depths (raindrops, the bench). Nice one, Andy. Have a great weekend! (Are you getting any running or hiking done these days?)
Thank you 🙂 ya, I signed up for a gym with the weather lately, much more comfortable running but not quite the same :S
I’m so fortunate our YMCA has a nice indoor track. I love it some of the days lately, but I’ve also been forcing myself to be outside running. It’s not been too bad here lately as far as cold or precip, thankfully. Have fun, Andy!

You said it well! 🙂
