(not me on the bench)

You can see a Martello tower on the island on the right. They're a defensive structure built all along the coastline, each one within sight of the next.

The blurry ethereal look of this photo (taken with a Casio Exilim EX-S2 camera from 2002), along with the blinding brilliant sunset, really brings some emotion to the photo. I have another one that's clear and not blurry, but it just doesn't have as much feeling behind it.

The footpath shown in the image carries you across the crest of a Native American burial mound from the 1600's, which is now located in a public park. The site was being mined for sand and gravel in the 1850's, when human remains were discovered. The company performing the work didn't care and continued mining, and looted many of the graves. In 1913, in an effort to preserve the remaining grave sites, a local amateur archeologist exhumed the remaining graves and donated the contents to Brown University and the Heye Museum of the American Indian in New York City. Following the passage of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act in 1990, the Wampanoag Repatriation Confederation (consisting of representatives of the Mashpee Wampanoag Nation, the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head, and the Assonet Band of the Wampanoag Nation) retrieved the artifacts and reburied them at the site in Burr’s Hill Park in May, 2017.

I have many good photos of benches (mostly taken with various digital cameras from the mid to late 90's). I will try to meter them out so I don't immediately flood the community with 12 bench photos lol

This photo was taken with a Fujifilm Finepix 4700z from the year 2000.

I can't get the image to upload and post from piefed, so I've gotta use a link, which makes the preview really tiny... Oh well, more space for benches on the page!

I like the current theme of just making the title "Bench - info about bench". With the plague of disappearing public seating, this community brings me joy.

I can't remember where I took this. Probably somewhere in Kyoto.
