sometimes i forget that I live only minutes from this spot and others like it. a doctor's appt reminded me...oh yeah...wow...I live in a place people flock to for vacation. Please note: color and photo are NOT enhanced in any way. I cropped.....that is all. This is natural beauty. Better hurry before Owd Bob grabs that bench before you! Then he'll expect you to sit on his lap....:) Hmmmm....but is that so bad?

Nice shot Terri

It looks like your inviting us to take seat !! Many ambitious photograghers try to avoid capturing people in their shots, but perhaps people were needed in this one because it looks too lonely without them sitting that bench.
Bye now Phil

Lovely shot here terri. I too live in a spot not unlike this and forget at times. Like you I have to remind myself where I am and take it in again. this looks very restful.

Looks like an attitude of gratitude! I love the fact that is was not enchanced and that it actually looks that great. Now iaf we only had the time to sit down and read a book or watch everything.

What a lovely place. We often times don't notice what lies right before us. I find nothing wrong with enhancing a photo if it makes it more like the way it was actually seen by the photographer, but this one is quite clear and colorful to start with.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

It looks as though no one has sat there in a while. I would love to sit there and just take it all in. But I'm not sitting in Owd Bob's Lap. Looks like a Great Spot. Nice Shot.

This photo speaks of serenity, peace and quiet - far away from the noisy beach parties and holiday makers. Well captured scene.

Oh, yeah....I'd love to sit in the sun at the beach, and I wouldn't even need a bench to do that :) great pic, Terri..Thanks for remembering it's there and for sharing it with the rest of us.
