Does this count? Can it make it into the Bench challenge? It’s a bench seat in a Gondola in Venice (where else)?

Category: Weekly Photo Challenge
A photo challenge sometimes entered weekly, sometimes monthly, it depends on what photos I have available. It also means thinking outside the box sometimes and I confess I’m not great at doing that.

Thursday Doors
Strolling through old Hastings a few days ago, I saw this lovely old door. There were many rare looking doors and doorways but it’s high season and all seemed to have resting visitors. I could quite understand as it was one of England’s hottest days.

Pull up a seat
Linked to xingfumama
Pull up a seat in the Parque Federico Garcia Lorca in Alfacar, Granada, Spain, and meditate on the poet’s death and those of his 3 close companions, plus the thousands of others assassinated by Franco’s rebel army in the area, just a few days after the outbreak of Spain’s Civil War.
The Park was inaugurated by the Provincial Council of Granada in 1986 to pay tribute to the thousands shot between Alfacar and Viznar and has been declared a Place of Historical Memory.
Sombre yes, but good to have such a place to commemorate a great poet and playwright, and the thousands of other victims of the Spanish Civil War..

WHATSOEVER IS LOVELY …
setting out on life’s adventure, first day at big school, seeming weighed down by too many books, lunch-boxes and maybe some home comforts, who knows, but I hope it all went well for this little one.

CFFC – Fun Photo
Tree Surgeons Working.
Heard a lot of noise, leaned out my window, and there it was. A traffic jam!
Not just any old traffic jam, this one was caused by the local tree surgeons who were removing some dangerous branches from a tree not far from me. We’d all been steering clear of this tree as we walked past it on our way to the local park, as the over-hanging branches had looked as though they were about the pull the tree down for the past two years.
I couldn’t watch for two long, that young man roped to the branches, looked very vulnerable.
Not a job I’d want 
Job Done, Tree still Leaning but shouldn’t fall now! -
Sculpture Saturday
Sleeping Child by By Håkon Anton Fagerås.
This sculpture of a sleeping child is said to symbolize Norwegian optimism, survivability, and future life.
The design incorporates a separate pedestal, a rock from Hiroshima’s ground zero given earlier to Narvik by the mayor of Hiroshima. One of three peace sculptures in Narvik it was dedicated in 1956, 1995 and 2006 to remember the atomic bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima.
