Solitude

Modern times; well spotted and taken Keith.

Je ne connais mon proche voisin mais j'ai des amis à 6000 kms , les avantages du cellulaire !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bien vu .

Well observed...

Great candid.

HBM, Keith - have a good new week!

Just what we all need at time Keith. A superb candid shot.

★彡 Good work. Have a lovely new week 彡★

nice and peaceful, HBM!

But she prefers the step to the bench...
Pretty image, Keith

Sit in a crouch instead of using this bench...one thing you can do when you´re young :)))
HBM dear Keith...have a wonderful week ahead ans stay well!

Thanks Tanya. I do my best not to bend my knees at all nowadays :-))

just the right title!

Good work Keith!!

NICE! Love the natural frame. Love the bench and composition in the square format. I like seeing the intent expression on the phone user. A slice of current life these days, well documented!

I sure do like this new HBM, it's neato! Alas, I do not have a gathering of many benches to share, at least not at this point. I will have to add them to my captures now because, like fences, I'm a great fan of them and it will be fun to share!

It was fun to show you off to folks who may not be aware of your photography, and I'm glad you weren't annoyed that I shined a spotlight on you for a day! I'm happy you liked my ivy picture too! I have a couple of other pictures to share but I didn't want to put them up at one time because they are similar enough that the impact would be too diminished to see them all together and they deserve a undiluted look. I am sure you've got plenty of subjects like that too...sometimes the views we like best are different enough to merit processing but folks might not be interested to see them all at once. :)

I hope you're having a lovely day!! Heh...POD BROTHER! :D

Ha, ha.................Janet, you're brilliant. Don't ever change!

Thanks for the link...........I've had a look and commented. I've only just joined the HBM group but I already have a small stash of bench pics I can use. Thanks for stopping by and making be blush again :-))

Really a beautiful composition. Very well seen and captured calmness ! HBM and a beautiful week for you !

Thinking that there is such a nice bench and she is sitting on the steps ;-)) HBM Keith.

Ha, ha. The answer to that is bird poo..........most of the benches in this little park are under trees :-))

Sie hat wohl den Blick für die Realität verloren, sonst säße sie auf der Bank. Gut beobachtet, Keith! HBM

Ha, ha............see my reply to Christa1004 (above)!

yes....... that the destiny........

wish you a sunny autumn day:) despite all.

+++++

Many thanks everyone.................I'm really pleased you like it.

This is perfectly framed and composed! People and their phones....;-)

Thanks very much Gudrun............you're very kind.

La composition est superbe (le thème, les couleurs..) J'y vois aussi une illustration des méfaits du portable qui isole plus les gens qu'il ne les ouvre au monde. J'aime beaucoup cette photo. Amitié. Jean paul

Glad you like it Jean Paul.................thank you. You can't get away from mobile phones (unfortunately)..!!

Marvellous composition and capture!
I wasn't sure why I've been seeing more and more benches in photos until I saw the group title and the penny dropped! It passed my by somehow!!
