I always enjoy finding Benchmarks as I travel and hike around Montana. For some reason this one does not state the elevation. The elevation in Wolf Creek , Montana a small town a couple miles down the road is 3563 feet above sea level. So this would be just a few feet higher than that. I have no idea what U4 52 means. This Benchmark is on an old concrete highway bridge over Sheep Creek.
A different angle of this beautiful bench at the small botanical garden. I simply worked on the highlights, nothing more. I kept the colors untouched.
Another benchmark. On St Mary's Gate this time. I can't find any record to state they were cut on anything other than vertical structures.
Dyke on the south side of Wangerooge to protect the village. Perfect spot to shoot departing planes.

Many thanks for your visits!
A quiet bench in the gardens of Baddesley Clinton, near Lapworth, Warwickshire, England,
Owned by the National Trust, this medieval manor house has seen little change since it was built in 1633.
Found a half decent shot of this combo, did my best to make it more than half decent. What do you guys think?

The Saturday challenge for 21 August was anything created to be sat upon, such as chairs, sofas, benches, etc. There were plenty of possibilities for me, from simple ‘uprights and a plank’ benches in the park to upholstered armchairs in the house, but I wanted to find something of wider appeal, and decided on ‘Mr Hubert’s Bench’. Neither Mrs D or I knew Mr Hubert but we’ve often sat on his bench; it’s beside a path overlooking the appropriately named Happy Valley, a ‘Site of Special Scientific Interest’ and part of the ‘South London Downs National Nature Reserve’, a recently created protected green space which forms an irregular arc within easy walking distance of our home. The bench is a fine place to take a break part way through a dog walk, and the sentiment on the plaque is shared by all the ramblers, joggers and dog walkers who know this spot. Here, against a backdrop of a general view of the valley, is a montage of images taken today of the bench itself, a close-up of the plaque, and to give you an idea of why Mr Hubert loved the place, the view from the bench with (of course) Lily drinking it in.
