Peeling paint colours on this shabby chic set of wooden seats fits the down-at-heel ambience of Cliftonville in Kent. These are not well-placed for taking in the sea views but offer a welcome rest along the esplanade for promenaders from Margate to Ramsgate.
This could almost be one for Blue Monday but it certainly fits the 'Pull Up a Seat' prompt

Time has achieved a beautiful effect that would otherwise be very difficult to create! The pointillistic seats. Excellent shot! 👌
pointillism – the true eye of the artist 🙂
…isn’t it though [pointillistic beauty]?! 😉
yes now I see it
🙂
I like the way you composed this. Well worn seats for real walkers may be down at the heel but are likely very welcome none-the-less.
and a welcome sight too for your prompt – thank you
Oh, lovely! I do love peeling paint, and sometimes pick up fab pieces of old fishing boats here. The real shabby-chic deal, as you can’t recreate the look.
Greetings from the wild west coast!
nothing better than the genuine zen for shabby chic – I envy your coastal locale!
Is the the right place to read your writing too?
I blog, randomly, on
mimsy-smallstones.blogspot.com
yes I write here too, mostly poems. And thanks for the link to your blog as I’ve tried to place you via the profile – why not add your website to your profile so others can find you more easily?
I have a profile?!
where you left your comments, you have a Gravatar icon and should be able to click on it to add your details (although being a Blogger it may be different – not sure)
What is a Gravatar icon?!
that image by your name!
My ID just comes up as mimsy etc, my email acct, on my phone. Does it come up with an image for you?
I am totally technophobe.
But there is a bluetit outside my window on the birdfeeder …
dont worry -stick with the birds – they are much more rewarding!
Yeah, I prefer the simple life! Enjoy my blog…very random!
Yay…success! And a photo of my daemon, Kitty-the-dog!
What is it about peeling paint (and benches) that is so appealing to photographers? Nice composition here Laura.
thank you Jude – one from the archives in good light – I sometimes feel that my recent photography too has seen better days
