What a lovely place to sit in the garden (until the cherries ripen and they start dropping down and leaving stains).

You don’t have to sit on a bench, you know.

And some benches I don’t want to sit on (btw that’s a bench on an autobahn rest area, i.e. the large garbage can is necessary, I guess).

And last not least a dedicated bench for pensioners who need a rest during shopping.

Our local tram connects the cities Mannheim and Heidelberg and our town (definitely not a city) in an almost perfect triangle. It’s been going since before the first world war.

The water level marked on an old house from a flooding in 1875.

A mural created by a school class in 2015.

A keystone with the year 1743 marked out.

The (most likely) dates of birth and death of Johannes Bückler, better known as Schinderhannes, painted on a house in the area where he used to live as an outlaw and robber. There are many legends (and five movies) about the man, making him into a more modern German version of Robin Hood which are in all probability not true.

Rather rickety, don’t you think?

Filigree- yes, comfortable – maybe, mad – definitely.

Pseudo antique, old-fashioned elegance.
A lonely, lovely bench in the woods.

Not lonely, not really lovely.

The best choice: A sit down with Mr Samuel Longhorn Clemens, next to the Ilmenau in Lüneburg, Germany.
For Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: any kind of seating.
If you want to take a seat with others – here they are.
