Benches of contemplation series

Photography of Benches

Somewhere to rest our legs, relax and eat lunch but also a memorial for lost loved ones. A bench is where the rat race disappears for a while,
and there is time to be ourselves. A time for contemplation, taking in the view and re-energising our bodies. Sit down and take a sigh of relief.
"Peace and Joy through beauty" was a message written on a dedication plaque on a bench in Bath Botanical Gardens, and has become
a motto of mine. When your mind is focused on beauty, you imbue it into your being. Peace and Joy come naturally........if you let them.
The choice is yours! Who would of thought commercial park benches had some beauty to them?
