Please be seated - Thematic Photography

More shots from a morning walk waiting for someone to ask, 'Please be seated.'

A seat tucked away
Roadside bench
This is located on a roundabout, seated here you would breath in exhaust fumes from 1000+ vehicles in a hour.

Much better that you sit in a quiet garden with space for your friends.


Select which view you prefer
You would need to sit down at this bus stop,

with only 6 buses a week
three each Tuesday and Thursday - none in the afternoons.

It's enough to drive you to drink at the Crown.

Pleased to be seated outside
Or perhaps you would prefer to take a few cans home and relax in this garden seat.


I know which one I would chose and not wait to be asked. See others please to be seated at Carmi's thematic-photographic-381.

Roadside - Thematic Photography

A high proportion of shots I take are of things I see on my daily 2 mile walk (each way) to collect a newspaper.

Carmi's Roadside theme is just right for me even if the results are a bit mundane.

Some 'waste' however is squashed flat on the road.


Deposit left by a horse from the village riding school
On a corner the salt/grit bin is positioned ready for ice and snow.

The 'rag and bone' man collects items like these left out by residents.

Chairs for scrap metal disposal
At this time of year the seats and table outside the village pub are not crowded.


There is always the chance that dog walkers will be seen enjoying the grass at the roadside.


Of course I could always divert down the lay-by opposite attracted by the promise of the sign.


Even if it is only a 'take away.'

Snoopy's snacks
I really must come by after dark to enjoy the promise of -

Christmas lights
Including those on top of the wall.
