Would you trust this rickety-looking bench?
Sighted outside the back entrance to a vintage apartment building in a back street of Jerusalem's Beit Hakerem neighborhood.
"Benches on Friday" is the brainchild of RuneE. His scenic benches are in Visual Norway. In his comments section are some other blog-friends who offer you a seat on their benches. Come join us!May you have a restful and peaceful Sabbath, wherever you sit. Shabbat shalom!

I must admit that i would be a tiny bit careful sitting down. I suppose any guest you bring would have to sit a capella.
ReplyDeleteIs it a garage at the back og the bridge?
PS Thank you for the comments - I looked up your link again and he certainly has a magnificent view from his benches. I left a couple of comments.
Gosh! I don't know... however, it's got a good wind break. :-)
ReplyDeleteRune, wait, isn't a capella about music? Do you know some meaning that I don't? Explain, please! Now I'm curious.
ReplyDeleteNo, no garage. Israel doesn't have garages, except in the expensive private villas.
Thanks for visiting Father Adam.
Good Kay, you would see a wind break. While I only saw it as a privacy thing to block my view. :)
ReplyDeleteAs far as I know A capella means "alone" or without music. Solo might perhaps have been better - a fancy word for saying "without company" :-)
ReplyDeleteLesson: never use fancy words in a language that is not my own :-(
Rune, oh, I get it.
ReplyDeleteOh no, please don't stop experimenting with words; I love it!
It matches the boards in the gate and fence behind it. I think the ends stabilize it. It fits in well.
ReplyDeleteI, too, visited yoru friend's bench and it sure is in a beautiful setting.
PS I think Rune's use of a capella was most interesting. . . just something new for me. I loved it. It was perfect description.
If that is a bench then I got lots of them. I got one that is so old the only thing sitting on it with any degree of safety is the fly I see.
ReplyDeleteHi Dina - cozy bench photo! Looks like a quiet and peaceful place to relax and ponder.
ReplyDeleteCan I go and sit there for a while, now that I am capela again?
ReplyDelete:(
Thank you DINA for your nice comment about the clouds reflected on that shiny «thing» at the submarine with a view to Lisbon's beautiful Sky!
Shabbat shalom!!
I would think that sitting over the supported area would be best. A friend could sit on the end to stabilize the board.
ReplyDeletea capella means without instrumental accompaniment. Doesn't necessarily mean solo, because a whole choir could sing a capella.
ReplyDeleteLove your pictures, Dina!
I would like to sit on a bench talking with you, Dina!
ReplyDeleteAloha-

Thanks, Dina. I prefer to stand. This must come from an unpleasant and embarrassing moment when a piano bench gave way under me.
ReplyDeleteWith many benches in the Philippines looking like it (in variety stores, transportations stops, roadside eateries), I won't even think twice about sitting on it, especially since it's in a shady spot ;)
ReplyDeleteEven if it is rickety it is still charming!
ReplyDeleteNot so much a bench but maybe a scratching post for wandering cats
ReplyDeleteIt's a very interesting bench, but not inviting for a long rest!
