Prom Benches
As they say, you can't have it both ways. You either get the stunning view of Casco Bay in all its seasonal glory or this look at some of the grand housing along Eastern Prom. These Promenade homes have some magnificent panoramic water views. To tell you the truth, yesterday morning my Nikon and I were kind of pulled towards this line of benches in the sunshine braving the icy breeze. They have been newly added to the crest of the hill just above the bandstand. It's a nice place to sit and do a bit of dreaming, but I think I'll wait and try them out in July listening to one of the evening concerts.
If you're taking a seat in this sun, bundle up.
That's not a gentle, warm, summer breeze a blowin'.
Nothing colder than a coastal Maine bench in January.
ReplyDeleteDuring warmer weather, this will be a favorite spot, I bet!!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful houses! I think these benches will be a fabulous place to city and ponder life... while rugged up in many layers of warm clothing
ReplyDeleteTalk about location, location, location Birdman.. this one is perfect.
ReplyDeleteA perfect place to sit for a while....in the summer. It looks a bit icy behind those benches.
ReplyDeletethat's neat!
ReplyDeleteI was expecting a high school gym with the mention of prom benches. Too cold for me, too.
ReplyDeleteRe your comment on Ocala - you may want to check the blog after 4:30 today... :)
I can only imagine the view!
ReplyDeleteAll that seating looks so welcoming. But I'd prefer to sit there on a warmer day than today.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to feel the sun but better in a spot protected from the wind!
ReplyDeleteI'd enjoy that view, I bet. Winter or summer.
ReplyDeletethose are some beautiful homes!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a summer with snow shot.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind sitting there for a little bit in winter!
ReplyDeleteIf you just wait for four months you might find the warm sunshine you seek. Lovely series of benches.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful place, but I would wait for warmer weather too! I love those houses, especially the one with the turret.
ReplyDeleteLooks very pretty!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like there isn't any competition for bench seating this time of year. Nice shot!
ReplyDeleteI like the houses in the background.
ReplyDeleteThere is something about benches. I take lots of photos of them but don't hardly post any of the pics.
ReplyDeleteWhere are the people for all these seats?
ReplyDeleteWoaw! do you allow me to link this to my blog?..

Sure. Go for it!
ReplyDeleteFantastic!!
ReplyDeleteI am struck by how many benches are squeezed into this spot. There is a terrific view to be seen, or the City got a real deal on benches.
