Benches in the Sculpture Garden of the Birmingham Museum of Art
I'm joining Aileni's ever growing gang of photographers at Monochrome Weekend. What an inspiration they are for me.
DON'T FORGET.....
The Yale University Gallery's American art exhibit "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness" at the BMA.

I'm glad you took the leap. I think this is outstanding. And I think now that along with a monument on my grave I'm going to have a bench like this put it to give people a place to rest and reflect. Beautiful choice for today.
I agree that this is a touching photo. I see benches often that were put there 'in memory of.'
Sensuous flowing curves, gorgeous dappled light, strong sharp shadows.
Beautiful, V. Just beautiful.
I love the idea of a bench or chair as sculpture and also a memorial. My dog Milou has a bench engraved in his memory on a promenade across the valley from my house - hardly a sculpture - just rather rustic.
Outstanding. Well, V. you've mastered another type of photography. I love everything about this, the curved lines, the shadow, the lighing, and the poignant dedication.
I echo Julie's comment entirely. This is an incredibly sensitive, sensuous shot.
Nicely done, V. Great light and I especially like the way the curves iron of the bench become straight line shadows.
Joe Minter seems to have such an imagination...
and the exhibit of American Art seems to be so interesting!
Of course I don't forget your own picture with such an interaction of light and shadow and meaning.
An attractive design - memorable in its own right.
Fantastic shot !! Shadow is fantastic !!Unseen Rajasthan
A wonderful way to be remembered.
Superb!!
I've been away for far too long!

beautiful long shadows
Your welcome photo is outstanding. The shadows are the finishing touch on a fine B&W photo.
Perfedt motif for monochrome. And wonderful shadows to :)
Really love the bench and the shadow is such a nice contrast. Nice catch!
Beautifully done photo. Another great capture by Virginia. And another reason to make us all want to visit Birmingham.
I hope my photographs make you all want to visit my hometown. Thank you all for your kind comments and support as I try new things and keep learning!!
I like your choice of B&W for this one. A sharp shot.
