The Loneliest bench. · 08:49 PM

We have had the lonely bench series run and re-run.

This is dedicated to the most lonely benches of all time. This chap I found after a hour (plus) hike up a little montain path in New Zealand last week. Must say I was pretty pleased to see him too.

There in the distance.....its a bird, its a plane.....sure aint superman.....could it be...? out here?

What a great collection of shots. Personally, I would vote for Ovim's shot as the loneliest, so far.
Here is my contribution to the cause :

Ha Dave, nice you re-animated this thread! Wonder who might be buried under that bench under that snow....

Nice shot!

Finally, my contribution to the bench thread! Probably not the loneliest, but it's got a great view!

Wow, this is evolving to a classic thread!

Saw this in my collection and thought it appropriate.

A couple views of the same sitter ten days apart...

I was looking through some old files and thought of this thread when I found this photo. Taken at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Angel Fire, New Mexico.

Another lonely bench. Taken very near the other lonely bench I posted but this time it was warmer.

**Mallee Boy** · 07-04-2009, 02:27 PM

Seeing as my occasional clean up has deleted the initial photo, here is another one.

A great collection of shots here.
