S is for SeatAre you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin. Sometimes when walking through forests, you come across quirky little carvings done by the foresters. The
forestier who did this near
Geishouse was obviously of a more practical nature. But only room for one, whereas these two trees near the old
Hincaster canal can accommodate four, and are very comfortable.
Purpose built with artistic flair, an unusual wooden seat near Wye.

Sometimes seats provide both rest and shelter as this one does on top of
Pendle Hill

Certainly well built to withstand any storm, although the day this picture was taken was warm and sunny.

A bit of Scottish stone nicely placed so Ron can gaze at
Sueno's Stone. A 9
th Century
Pictish sculpture stone which has its own little (21 ft) glass case.

When you are waiting for a train at the
Station a seat is always nice. These are the old
Furness railway (1846-1923) seats, refurbished and still in use on
Ulverston station.

I will be having ABC withdrawal next week as I am away, but wish you all you ABCers a terrific T day.

Those are so cool! What fun! And what great shots for the S day!
Fascinating post! I love the rustic carved seats in the forest, but my favourites are the Pendle Hill stone circle seat, and the railway bench!
Great series of photos for S day...I like the wood carvings...I saw another blog with wood carvings today....the seat near Wye is very different...
I so enjoyed these seats!
You are creative and I learned so much today.
I will be thinking of you next week. Enjoy your time away!

Superb seats - particularly fascinated by the Furness railway seats as they appeared to be quite whimsical... Very nice post - have a good minus T week!
A great set of seats !
