I imagine the makers of this nice bench with the metal backrest and motifs had not thought about the English youth obsession to leave their mark on everything they can. Such are our times. Can’t say I approve, but who am I to say!

Seen on our recent walk around Healey Dell. This was near the Fairies Chapel, but I cannot find any more info about it

Enjoy full screen.

Have a great day.

I love the limited palette of this image. The few colours present make a very pleasing analogous colour scheme. I hope you have a fantastic new week, Herb. All the best, Joe

I see what you mean Joe. I did look at this in mono too but left it as it was with its limited colour range. Glad you liked it.

Cheers. Herb

Quite a few nice benches and walls defaced like this Gordon. I cannot ever remember doing that sort of thing but I carved my initials on a few trees I know.

HBM, enjoy this sunny week too. Herb

Better to put their marks on the backrest of a bench than In the bark of a tree... HBM Herb.

Herb Riddle ^club has replied to Gabi Lombardo ^club

Yes, the rust is taking over. No idea, how old this is. There was a description of the valley and this bench nearby but I did not read it all nor take any photos of that. A pity perhaps.

HBM, enjoy the week. Herb

A beautiful bench and I agree with your view on the graffiti, Herb. HBM and have a good week.

Ecobird ^club

Lovely light and the wonderful greens on the wall and providing a lovely backdrop. The symbols on the bench stand out nicely and whilst I am not a fan of graffiti this is not totally intrusive, probably because it it all in white. A shame it wasn't left aloe though.

Well captured Herb. HBM and have a good week. Like the title!!

Herb Riddle ^club has replied to Ecobird ^club

Glad you liked the light and backdrop here Carol. I usually avoid capturing this other side of our human trait but needs must for this HBM group :)

Keith Burton ^club

This is why I make the distinction between street art and graffiti. To me this falls clearly in the latter category (although I will grudgingly admit it does sometimes make for a good photo).

A nice find and photo Herb...I like the moss-covered wall in the background.

Herb Riddle ^club has replied to Keith Burton ^club

Yes a big difference in those categories Keith. Glad it give you something to think about and you liked the moss.

Best Wishes. Herb
