Memorial Bench
previous / nextThis bench is at a park located in believe it or not a town called National Park NJ. It is directly across the Delaware River from the Philadelphia International Airport. It was a gorgeous Friday afternoon in April when I shot this one. The flowers on the bench are silk, and there is a small memorial plaque dedicating the bench to someone's lost loved one.

Hi
your photos look more and more beautiful.
Nice shot Laurie
Gorgeous bench! Fabulous shot!
Really nice! I love how the shadow just seems to hang there on it's own.
A very great photo, Laurie! A photo with a story...! You saw it!
greetings,
NANNE from FRIESLAND
(by the way..., I was walking..., first 210 kilometer and last saterday 50 kilometer, so could not place some comments..., but here I am again, Laurie)
This is timeless and also a little sad. Although the sun lights this scene gorgeously!
Nice shot Laurie, I love the blurry background and the vignetting pulls off a nice effect.
Love the depth of field focus on the flowers.
This is a nice shot.
There is a story in the picture about lonlyness. It fits well to the words on the memorial plaque.
I cant help recalling W.C.Fields' wishes for his grave marker: "I would rather be in Philadelphia"
..beautiful images of Hyewon Kim..
Very nice shot Laurie !!! Good composition with flowers...
Excellent shot Laurie.
I see a lot of nice bench shots around the blogs lately
@TP...Thanks...Benches are a favorite subject of mine. I post them quite often and have quite a few stored in my archives. Broken ones, pristine ones, old ones, new ones, wooden ones, metal ones...with people, without people...all sorts taken in all sorts of weather.
Fine and beautiful colors !
Excellent snap. Only shadow is of seating area. Beautiful
A place full of secret... ;-) I like very much the light on this image. Thank you for your visit Laurie :-)
Laurie always so close of neatness your photo, seen the angle one to believe to see the bench in weightlessness.
nice shot ... excellent dof.
Really nice Lonely Bench shot. There is a sadness to this.

Hi Laurie
Another great shot, love the minimalist composition and the subjet! Also beautiful tones!
