Sunday Challenge: Have a seat!

Take a photograph of a chair. It can be an upholstered chair, a bench, a hard-backed chair or anything that you sit on. You can photograph it empty or in use. You can show all of it or just part of it. Consider whether you want to illustrate a feeling (restfulness, fatigue, comfort, etc.) or a design example. Use your imagination to create an interesting photograph and have fun doing so.

If you are interested in joining the Sunday Challenge Group and you are willing to comment on the photographs of others submitted as part of the friendly challenge, let me know and I will send you an invitation.

HBM ~ A seat upon high

HBM ~ A seat upon high
This welcome seat just below the hilltop castle of Dinas Bran enjoys great views. How long it has been here, who knows? A nice cool breeze is to be had here to cool us down after the climb so far but that breeze can turn, no doubt to a freezing gale at times, and not only in winter.
The view here is part of the panoramic walk belonging to the mountain called Creigiau Eglwyseg (455 m). This is a landscape of prehistoric cairns and archaeological sites dating from the Bronze Age. We actually did a lot of that walk on our last visit here in 2017 but now our age interferes with a present adventure. See PiP
Have a perfect day.

But what are they looking at?

James Turrell is widely acknowledged as one of the most important artists working today. From the mid 1960s onwards his principal concern has been the way we apprehend light and space.

One of Turrell's ‘Skyspaces’, is an enclosed viewing chamber that affects our perception of the sky, and James and Adrian are calmly watching clouds through the open space in the roof. See the PiP.

I found that sitting in this chamber to be mesmerising, and immensly calming. Very suitable for those wishing to meditate.
