Description

just learned that Mark will be celebrating a birthday Monday. I know that we are getting up there and so here's a bench that you can sit down and enjoy the view.

Down the creek 'WITHOUT A PADDLE' (and not up, as in this instant) LOL - BTW, the 2004 movie comes to mind here...

this could be just what the Doctor ordered for Mark, a serene moment for reflections and let the world go by...

Mark (wysiwig) said he prefers sitting on the ground, but he has trouble getting up: If I sat on the ground a week ago? I'd still be there today. Sitting on grounds pretty much vacated my life about 7 years ago. (It left with 60. Bye-bye agility! Nice knowin' ya!)

I zoomed this shot, and what a great surprise! The detail not only on the bench, but on the grass and gravel, is just scintillating. The bench is in a sea of gentle nature, and I love the river back there (I assume that's a river), and the trees, and mountains in the background. And the meeting of those diagonals of river and grass-line, etc. It's a lonnnnng shot, gentle and sweeping. (Rod does long gigantic shots too, which also sweep beautifully.) And as for the bench, it's like a zen resting place---all alone and quiet, surrounded by sweeping landlines and looking very inviting. Thank you, Mike, this is a big gentle and buddhist-like picture, and I appreciate the thought that went with it. (I have some sick people in my life right now, and you don't know how inviting this scene looks. When you're surrounded by massive urban sprawl---incl suburban sprawl---a scene like this is paradise. Brigitte has it right.) Thank you! And thank you for your constant presence in my gallery, and your always supportive and kind comments, and of course your art. I hope to return to regular commenting soon, I've missed a number of your pieces (though I've seen them all). Thank you for this beautiful vision and thought. I appreciate it very much. (And I hope people zoomed: It's a whole other universe, full size...)

this strikes me as a lonely moment or place or both :)

What a great Idea to put a bench there for 'Birthday-Mark', Mike. He will for sure enjoy the large view, with that beautiful blue river at the end. Haha, on your picture it seems like the river goes uphill. But maybe all rivers do that in USA
