Piranha rouge/Red-bellied piranha

Did anyone tell you
that in each subway train
there is one special seat
with a small hole in it
and underneath the seat
is a tank of piranha-fish
which have not been fed
for quite some time.
The fish become quite agitated
by the shoogling of the train
and jump up through the seat.
The resulting skeletons
of unlucky passengers
turn an honest penny
for the transport executive,
hanging far and wide
in medical schools.
(Edwin Morgan, "The Subway Piranhas")

Chairs and Benches
This is yet another new series of photographs this time about Chairs and Benches with a few other seating items thrown in.
They can be Regal, Practical, Ultra Design items, Art Installations, used for Potty Training. They can even be vehicles of Execution. They hold immense power and none at all. From the densest populated cities, to the most remote parts of the world. Usually sturdy; reliable; honest; comfortable; often filled with people. People talking, sleeping, with their phones, eating, climbing to reach other items, feeding birds, making love and every scenario one can think of.
The imagination can run riot over the most important conversations that have taken place on them, what they could tell you if they could, what they would tell you if they wanted too. As usual I hope you enjoy what I have posted and this is the first of many……….
Enjoying a Saturday afternoon, relaxing on the seats overlooking the Sydney Opera House.
Circular Quay, Sydney
May, 2020
The good thing about a day with constant rain in Strasbourg are the many available seats on the excursion boats on the channels.
I was lucky - it had been pretty cloudy all morning, but just as I got here the sun began to make an appearance, just enough to begin to get some dappled sunlight shining through the roof which transformed the scene. Taken in the plaza next to 100 Bishopsgate in London, just along from the Can of Ham building. On a Canon EOS 6D with Sigma 14-24mm f/2.8 DG HSM @ 14mm

Ein guter Freund hat mich gefragt ob ich nicht ein schönes Foto von seinem Auto machen kann. Ich frage: Was ist denn ein schönes Foto? Antwortet mein Freund: Keine Ahnung, mach irgendwas. Na ja, seht selbst....
A good friend asked me if I could take a nice photo of his car. I ask, what is a beautiful photo? My friend replies: I don't know, do something. Well, see for yourself...
Arthur's Seat (Scottish Gaelic: Suidhe Artair, IPA: ['sui.ǝ'arthari]) is an ancient volcano which is the main peak of the group of hills in Edinburgh, Scotland, which form most of Holyrood Park, described by Robert Louis Stevenson as "a hill for magnitude, a mountain in virtue of its bold design".[¹] It is situated just to the east of the city centre, about 1 mile (1.6 km) to the east of Edinburgh Castle. The hill rises above the city to a height of 250.5 m (822 ft), provides excellent panoramic views of the city and beyond, is relatively easy to climb, and is popular for hillwalking. Though it can be climbed from almost any direction, the easiest and simplest ascent is from the east, where a grassy slope rises above Dunsapie Loch. At a spur of the hill, Salisbury Crags has historically been a rock climbing venue with routes of various degrees of difficulty, but due to hazards, rock climbing is now restricted to the South Quarry and a permit is required.
