A slightly different bench than the previous bench. And I don't mean different in the sense that this one has a backrest, that's pretty obvious unless you haven't had a chance to see the other referenced above. Now might be a good time to compare the two for yourself just to make sure I'm not trying to put one over on you. A few, and by few I mean most of you, felt uncomfortable sitting on the aforementioned seat. Fearing a sudden and most unexpected landslide would bury you should you dare take a moment to rest. So I went looking for another possible rest area for your seating pleasure. Luckily this one was just down the road and around a bend or two from the other. I hope it meets with your discerning tastes in the sitting arts.
Now in the interest of full disclosure. You should be aware that several years ago when the last hurricane blew through the area it partially denuded the hill on the right (opposite this scene) of what you would have thought of as healthy trees. The fact they were growing in essentially a vertical rock outcropping might have contributed to their demise, but we may never know. It stands to reason the hurricane might have weakened some of the other trees in the park at the same time.
I will also say that I for one did not test the bench out. Never have in all the years I've roamed though the park. Not that I'm afeared of some tree falling over and crushing me. No, it's the squirrels I don't trust. The little beggars have a direct aim on the old noggin of anyone sitting there.
Enjoy and your comments welcomed.
If a tree falls, you will not hear it.
Good shot.
