Description
Yesterday my friend and I drove down to the Monterey Peninsula of California. About 5 minutes before we left, I went to grab my camera and I couldn't find it anywhere. We didn't have time to look further, so off we went, me feeling naked as a new born babe. But Anna had her camera and this is what I used. It served me well, though the battery was low and I only got about two shots at a time. But THAT worked to my advantage; made me think (what a concept!!) about what I was shooting!!
At any rate, one of the many places we stopped was the Carmelite Monastery**. It's a most incredibly beautiful, peaceful spot. The nuns lived a cloistered life, spend their time praying and meditating. Not for me, but it's impossible not to feel their energy and auras.
This bench sits in one of the many spots made just for sitting, contemplation, quiet.
ps--Yes, I DID find my camera. It was in the one bag I didn't look in, the one where I said, "I KNOW it's not in there!!!!"

Now, that bench was made for sitting! Why is it every bench I see I want to photograph? Inevitably it faces something worth seeing. Nicely done!

Time to sit and ponder on this elegant piece of furnature, I saw a guy named Norm Abrahams make something simillar in a show called the New Yankee workshop, that guy is one helluva good carpenter, a master in fact, very nice POV you chose here Maz!

Couldn't find your camera at that one essential moment? Batteries running low? Sounds like Lois Lane in a Superman movie. Stellar POV, contrast and texture blends in this foto, Marilyn.

Beautiful bench, I would have been tempted to lift it ;) Great shot, though, even if it is with a "foreign" camera!

yeah monasteries can be austere, but they do have wonderful gardens & alcoves & places of private contemplation, and there's something about their chairs & benches that feel like that's what benches were made for in the first place: i.e., to go in a place like this. Quiet & reflective shot, very peaceful...glad you picked up the magnetic aura...nice quiet lighting too...And glad you found your camera! (You know, right, that if you looked in that bag—like, first thing? It wouldn't have been there! That's the rule: The gods want you to not look so you can come back later and find it. Just the little fun they have at our expense...)
