Lone benches.... not lonely

I have this fascination with benches.. wherever I go I will try to snap pictures of lone benches... Lone here means single or solitary or unoccupied benches...

Sometimes we tend to equate lone with lonely or loneliness... But not in my case.. each time I see a lone bench I wonder who have sat there and for what purpose..

It could be to rest awhile and take a breather after a long walk or jog...

Some benches seem a perfect place to read a book or even write a poem..

Somewhere in Perth

Some benches seem perfect for a meeting or discussion.. or even a picnic..!!

Serious family conference could have taken place here - Lake Toba, Medan

Good picnic place : Mornington Peninsular - Melbourne

A game of carom on a Sunday afternoon here perhaps..?

As you can see, there lots of stories that each bench can tell...

Here are Stanford University, students have their lunch sitting on the benches, catching up with their friends on the latest gadgets, startups and not forgetting football.

Humans are not the only ones that frequent the benches,,, 

perhaps this bird wants to join your picnic..!!

But there are times when we sit on a bench and wonder at the creations of the AlMighty....

and realize how small and insignificant we are compared to all Allah's creations..

So next time you see a lone bench, see beyond the structure.. imagine who sat there, what they do then..!
