Seating From Around the World

I have discovered something while visiting gardens ... that each garden will usually have more than one unusual bench, chair or place to sit and enjoy the garden - now it took me a few gardens before I realized this, but now, I have decided to watch for them as I visit and take a picture of them. I could have had the same fascination for urns, or obelisks, or gargoyles, but I picked seating. I have lots of pictures showing these others in the various gardens, but for now - seating is my new hobby! Hope you enjoy!
