Amazing view/angle.
I don't know why but I wouldn't expect a bench in such a landscape!

Beautiful use of the bench as a foreground, lovely tones in the sky. Once again, I do not leave here this morning disappointed!

Great point of view and perspective! Nice clouds on the sky. Color version is very nice also, but I love your B&W photos.

A fine "frontal bench". I suppose tired runners sat down here, or lovers, or old men and ladies to take a moment in the sun...Very nice one.

Hey for this one, I definitely like the colored version better than the BW. The BW is still nice, but the colored version stands out big time! Nice photo!

I absolutely agree with s.crypt here!

Woweee, lovely lovely shot. The fact you have this bench in such a scenic place is to die for. The combination just works. I LIKEY very much. The B&W conversion is perfect. Postcard I say. Now wish I could find a shot like this.

Great bench, and I enjoy the color one too. Are those tents in the background?

I didn't see them in the b/w at first.
