gone fishing
Overgrown with stinging nettles this bench sits on the rhododendron covered banks at the mouth of the lovely river Tay in Kenmore, Scotland. Parties mark the start of its famous salmon fishing season here and it looks like the fishermen then waste no time sitting down and just wade in !!
:))
See also misty loch tay taken a few hundred yards away where the river goes into the loch.. . a really beautiful spot!

But what a lovely weathered bench! You can tell I am not a fisherwoman because I see this bench and think what a nice place to read!
dinghysailor1 replied
I know joyce – I can’t believe it’s lack of use either – there is the most delightful river view but it could be a bit ouchy!

I love this composition, the weathered bench and over-grown greens, with the

Better take the ” Whipper Snipper ” before you sit down Lads ! A very overgrown spot – excellent framing and a mood !

A ” Whipper Snipper ” is slang for a petrol powered edge-trimmer here in Australia. :)
