Bench Back Blues

Bench Back and Wall, North Carolina Arboretum, Asheville, North Carolina

At the North Carolina Arboretum, I took advantage of reflecting blue light that 
filled the shade on a cloudless sunny day. I made this closely cropped image 
of a wooden bench back, which made a nice design against the wall of Appalachian stone.

    Like this shot so much Doug, if you didn't know it was a bench you could imagine it being a Celtic symbol of sorts.

    Wonderful craftsmanship - the carpentry, the walling and, of course, the photography!

    Oh I do like the contrast in the curved timbers and the squareness in the stone wall. Nice combination of natures gifts fashioned by man.

    Que de jolies nuances de bleu entre ce mur en pierre et ce grand banc en bois, c'est très réussi !
