Long bench with shadow at Waterfront Park -- NAMI walk bench #2


I love the ironwork on the arms of this bench and the shadow!

Found several benches on the NAMI walk #1


We walked 3 miles (5 km) starting on one side of the Wilhamette River and over one bridge and then parallel to the river on the other side of the river and back across a 2nd bridge to our starting point. Of course I had my camera with me. They had lots of benches along the way.

Victorian bench at Marshall House on Officers Row


When the Army gave the city of Vancouver the houses called " Officer's Row" for one penny, they had to promise to remodel and bring up to code the houses on Fort Vancouver Way and Reserve Street. They did and now many are condos or rented out as offices for businesses but they look like the houses did in their glory days from the outside. But there were three houses that were decorated in the period they were built -- with furniture that qualified as Victorian. Two of those houses have guided tours Monday through Saturday and it is all run by volunteers and donations.

This setee bench is from the Marshall House. Isn't it beautiful? Looks very confortable also but we were not allowed to try it out.

Benches at the Rose garden at O.O. Howard House

You have seen all these before but this time they have the roses in bloom near them so put them all in the same post just to use them again.

Lots of cushions on this bench!


Certainly looks comfortable. . . only clue it's a bench are the legs and metal arm.

Beautiful wooden bench with curves


I cannot remember where I took this photo -- inside someplace. It is so beautiful but I still think it could do with a few colorful cushions for the seat!
