This family stayed at the Viewpoint a very long time.

When two people come to the Viewpoint, they're often not joined by others...

The exact posture of each figure within a cluster of figures can have very significant consequences for the composition of an image containing multiple figures.

Very often you see just one or two people sitting on a bench. Three isn't rare. But four is less common.

This family was at the Viewpoint for longer than the average time. I'm not sure what made them stay so long. I was quite curious to know, but it's not the sort of thing you just walk up to someboday and ask about.

Although there are sunny days at this time of year, there are many rainy ones, too. The weather changes quickly, and often.

Beautiful weather today! This is an idyllic time of year.

Sometimes I don't know what to say. The more I think, the less anything comes to mind. I don't mind it.

It's hard for me to get used to the new bench. It pops out, instead of blending in with the environment. That will change, as it weathers. The weather is picking up.

The benches were laden with snow, and there was no evidence of anyone having sat on them.

The park was unusually silent the evening it snowed, which was a few days ago now.

The benches are made of wood. There are several of them, and most of them look like this:

Yes, one of these days. Yesterday wasn't one of them.

It's late. What can I say? Ignore the hot spot. I didn't think to bring a lens hood with me.

9, 15, 38 and 8; Sandstone, Not Concrete

I just went to the Viewpoint again. If I remember correctly, I counted nine hawthorns, fifteen steps leading up to the sculpture, thirty-eight steps around it, and eight benches. Two of the eight benches are side by side, but they're essentially separate. Some of the benches have backs; some don't. I'll have to make a note of how many there are of each kind the next time I go to the Viewpoint.

It now seems to me that the stones I wrote about earlier today, which I said were made of concrete, or cement, are actually pieces of sandstone. I asked a woman passing by, and she concurred.

It began to drizzle as I was leaving.
