The golden rays of dawn reflect off the big blue dumpster, drawing me near for a closer look. What a treasure I have found! Is it real leather? Theres only one way to find out... here, hold my camera.

One man's trash is another man's treasure. Some of us used to take home computer and board room chairs that the hospital put out by the dumpster for removal. When they got wise to that activity, they started raffling the merchandise off before it was hauled away. Guess they figured if someone wanted it, it was good enough to get money for and it generally was perfectly good and usable stuff.~~I think this chair has a boo boo and that's why you found it there, but it still looks good, doesn't it!! I watched one of those decorating shows where three designers had to make a three room living space out of a storage container and the results were amazing. Creativity is endless and that must be why you are drawn to these 'off the wall' subjects, I think. Shot is nice and clear. I'll quiet down now.

Another awesome shot and find Dan. Super colors, especially the sunrise on the dumpster. The chair looks great to me, although I don't have the bifocals on right now! So, did you dive or not?

It's amazing what people throw out...we can't see how the legs are but the chair appears in great condition and just needs a little re-padding.

The chair is covered with some of the finest Corinthian Leather I have ever seen, Lt Dan. I liked this shot and the one of Ze Plane, Ze Plane in the other post.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

A little padding and some leather condition and this would be as good as new . I think we should fix this up and take it to the Junkyard dog... his new chair. Great shot and find !

We had chairs that looked like that one but blue, very heavy. Your find is terrific and really like the reflections of the sun.
