Bench on the Croquet Lawn

Sunday 15th May - Day 148

I managed an hour or so out at Castle Drogo this morning, mainly to view the Rhodedendron garden, but also to have a gentle walk around the formal garden area. Now, I don't know why the benches surrounding the croquet lawn are pink, but they are!

Here are a few more, not many Rhodedendrons though!

I love how the bench stands so vividly against everything around it. Nice score.

I really like the composition. The pink bench looks so regal.

Simplicity at its best.

bold pink to catch one eye.. to say come sit for a spell.

Very well put together. The pink bench is saying "I'm here, please stay a while."

Eye catching contrast.

Incredible contrast. Great composition as well.

The red bench pops so out from the other surroundings. Almost appears misplaced. Great find.

Very simple. Composed nicely.

Nice bench! I like the out of focus foreground too. Were you laying on your stomach for this shot?
Guest 15-May-2005 20:55

Looks like a great place to spend a few hours.
Ric Yates15-May-2005 20:22
Nice composition - the bench certainly stands out!

My first thought was going to be to ask you if the bench was really that shade of pink!
