Bench in Williamstown, Melbourne - Leica M10, Summilux-M 50m ASPH
Sign: "On this bench Caleb gave Alysha a jumper because she was cold. Everything that has followed has been wondrous."
The bench was recently removed. I hope Alysha and Caleb are still together.

OK, another example of no self restraint, here is one where the people are notoriously small. Maybe it is something in the water in Montenegro?

Wow. This is really stunning!

Thank you! When we first met, she seemed so insecure about her looks. But I found her to be a very natural and uniquely beautiful young lady.

The benches seemed a nice fit, providing some leading lines.

I think of Vivian Maier seated on benches like that in her lonely dotage. The then unnamed artist of such great depth. We know her only through other people and her images.
