Default Outdoor furniture and me!

There's a train crossing on my way to and from work that is often stopping traffic for 10-20 minutes at a time, so I spent some time this last year looking for a couple alternate routes. As I was traveling down one particular new route, I ran across something that I wasn't quite expecting! This is a fairly isolated area, away from much of anything. There off the side of the road was a nice hunter-green leather couch! Ok..once I looked it over, it wasn't THAT nice...but still... I just had to get a couple pictures! The pictures themselves aren't anything to cheer about, but I found the subject and location pretty comical and worth sharing!





I had to try it out...

yeah it does really look comical.hmm maybe you should have brushed down the plants i front of the couch making the couch in its surrounding a bigger impact on the viewer.

Thanks Shellie! Yes, I've found a couple alternate routes. One of them has my favorite tree that I like to shoot! This is an overcooked HDR, but I thought it was cool! You never know what you can find on your way home from work! Haha!
