Hi Bob,
Not a hope about anyone getting sick looking at similar photos of benches or 
whatever the subject maybe from your picture taking talents. Certainly when 
you see a photographer working his butt off, imagination in use, time and 
talent to continue attempting to improve, not only his abilities as a 
photographer! But seeing the improvements due to his efforts! Keep the 
benches coming as many as you like or whatever the subject maybe. Simply 
put? "DAMN YER GOOD LAD!" :-)

The talent is there and far more than simple effort is obviously there! So 
you just keep them coming as you're developing a most interesting series, 
certainly for we who live on the North American continent who have walkways, 
benches and water all about us! So that in itself creates a subject of 
interest!

Many of the LUG Crew have already made suggestions you have the makings of 
an interesting book, given the numbers of smashing photographs we've seen to 
date. We also realize you have a day to day life to contend with. But let 
not any idea of stopping or concerned thoughts of others becoming sick of 
bench pictures! Basically? SCREW THEM!

You've a most interesting series of photographs, not just happy snaps while 
driving along the highway or boating the waterways of the countryside. But 
an interesting pictorial collection of a nation and it's people with 
locations to sit and rest in peace watching the beauties of Mother Nature!

You GO Lad! Because you have a winning series and yes one of these days 
you'll have an exhibition and with good fortune a book!  :-)

Extra effort of returning a couple of times is proof in this last 
photograph! A beauty!

cheers,
Dr. ted :-)
