Has something bright or reflective caught you eye?

This golden bench is a result of the rising sun. The rest of the day it is a plain wooden seat.

This is my final contribution to Jude’s bench challenge. A mix of antique, ornate and rustic benches.

It’s been a wonderful challenge, one that has inspired me to take notice of an ordinary object and take photos in a variety of angles and styles. I’m looking forward to new challenges next year but perhaps the odd bench will still appear in my future posts.

art, bench series, Hobart

I’ve written previously about MONA, the Museum of Old and New Art, in Tasmania.

Here are some of their modern benches for Jude’s bench challenge.

These are at the ferry terminal.

And these on their ferry.

Although not a bench, these little stools are fun and were used to sit on and as mini tables during an open air Sunday afternoon concert.

bench series, Hobart

Australian colonial style homes with a shaded veranda are an ideal place to sit and watch the world go by.

Here are a few Hobart houses that have a bench on their front veranda.

This is the last month of Jude’s bench series. It’s been a fun challenge.

bench series, Tasmania, WW Remembrance

This month, Jude is looking for benches with a message.

These picnic benches grabbed my attention as we celebrated Remembrance Day yesterday.

They are at Eagle Hawk Neck overlooking the Tasman Sea.

bench series

This month, Jude’s challenge is looking for benches with someone or something on it.

Here are a few benches I have seen with a variety of things on them.

Firstly, some yarn bombing.

Here in Tasmania, some houses have benches or sofas out on their front veranda’s. Often with boots or shoes or kid’s toys left alongside. This caught my eye.

This bench is attached to a flower stall. An old tin is sitting on the bench for payments.

I was concerned when I saw these car keys on a public bench. As I looked around, a young boy ran up and placed some more rocks on the pile. His mum and brother were a few metres away so Mum knew her keys were part of the game.

Does rain on a bench count, Jude?

Although not related to benches, here are a few other fun yarn bombs that I have seen in recent weeks.

This month, Jude’s “bench series” is looking for benches with someone or something on it.

I’m not very comfortable with “street photography” so this has been an interesting challenge. It’s been fun trying some editing techniques too. Here are a few back views.

Thanks for this challenge Jude. I’m looking for benches with things on, for my next contribution.

A seat and a good book.

This month’s challenge in Jude’s “bench series” is for a bench with someone or something sitting on it.

I love this cosy seat in our local bookshop.

bench series, Hobart

Ok, it’s just more benches for Jude’s challenge.

But Hobart’s metal street furniture is quite comfortable and is coordinated around the city.
