An Old Bench
When I see old benches sitting around all alone I often wonder who sat there over the years.
More benches here and here, but Jon has the best one here.

The weather here does great things to exposed wood...
I'm rather fond of this <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ashura666/2650543707/">one</a>, but more for the mood than any aesthetic quality of the bench.

I like old benches,
they remind me of the memorable feeling.
Looking at the benches,
I feel a kind of romance yet loneliness.......
