This lovely curved chair graces the headland of Calfclose Bay, overlooking Derwentwater and Catbells.
The bench was placed there by the Keswick Lions Club to celebrate the 'year 2000' Millennium.
Happy Bench Monday!
Lynn Chadwick: Couple on Seat
1984 | steel | Cabot Square (exterior)
Lynn Chadwick (1914-2003) began his career as an architectural draughtsman but after World War II he took up sculpture. Couple on Seat is one of his later works. He produced many pieces with figures in various positions, following in the tradition of sculptor Henry Moore.
Chadwick created a permanent exhibition of his work at his home at Lypiatt Park in Gloucestershire. An exhibition of his work was held in One Canada Square and Jubilee Park in 2004.
P.S. As of Saturday 24 February 2024, Canary Wharf’s loan of Couple on Seat by Lynn Chadwick has come to an end and the sculpture returned to the Chadwick estate. Two Men on a Bench by Giles Penny is now in its place.
Happy Bench Monday!
The trees have been decorated with lights for the Halloween events at the Gardens. : )
Whenever I take the grandkids to their Junior School I can’t help but notice these lonely benches at the junction of Crown and Trent Streets., Worksop in Nottinghamshire. They are always empty! Put in a ridiculous position, in the middle of an estate of low income senior citizens bungalows, they never appear to have anyone sitting there!
The old people usually sit in their gardens and avoid these benches. This is not the sort of neighbourhood where people are apt to take walks either.
Why the planners stick the benches in odd places like this is mystifying! Maybe it looked good on the original plans?
A series of benches has appeared, all painted differently to reflect aspects of the town. This one is in and about the Market Place. I have taken it to include a reflection of the actual market stalls and their distinctive red and white awnings! It’s all to celebrate Newark Book month.
Happy Bench Monday ... thankfully this is not a scene we should be seeing anymore here in Baltimore for this season ... but you never know :)
I set myself a challenge to take some interesting images on my doorstep (within a 15 mins walk of my house.)
The bench there on the rocks is used by many fishermen ... and fisherwomen as well.
Happy Bench Monday from along the Chesapeake Bay.
"Tête à tête" benches. 3 out 4.
Will catch you all tomorrow, not a great evening here, sadly. 😥
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :)
The most eye-catching of the three benches in the grounds of St Rufus Church is bookended by carvings of Mr Gauld’s cherished black and yellow Labradors, Samson and Delilah.
This Summer and Autumn, Newark has had these colourful benches all reflecting aspects of life in Newark and the town itself. This one is particularly colourful!
