Out in the back hallway at Longfellow Books at Monument Square, these stacked wooden chairs wait for their next chance to 'perform'. While taking our annual afternoon stroll to the Old Port to take in the sights and sounds of the holiday, we took refuge from the wind and cold here among the books. Most of us would be hard pressed to find a bunch of colorful chairs like these. After all, aren't we all stuck in a world of gray-metal, folding devices?

Birdman, that is a bright and special photo. Good timing, when everything is whited out.
ReplyDeleteLongfellow Books is a colorful place. Not surprising that their chairs follow that theme.
ReplyDeleteColorful legs up, legs down, legs all around . . .
ReplyDeleteYes, the Midwest area is stuck in grimly grey. Rain predicted followed by freezing temperatures. When will it end?
ReplyDeleteThe thought of sitting in those colourful chairs on a sunny summer day sustains me!
You are so right...a great collection of festive seating platforms! Heck, these would fit perfectly here in Ocala.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
How lovely to see cheerful colors...a welcomed relief from white!
ReplyDelete☼ Sunny
You are so right. These beauties are a rare sight anymore.
ReplyDeleteThe best understatement of a post/photo title that I've seen--ever!
ReplyDeleteLove those brilliant colors.
ReplyDeleteWhat a colorful catch. I would be tempted to unleash one for my sitting pleasure.
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw the picture I thought oh that must be from a classroom or library. Wasn't far off. I like the colorful chairs, beats drab.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty composition :-)
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL!!! I adore these chairs and am so excited places still use them.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of Kindergarten (yes, with a t, in Germany at the time!) They make for a wonderfully graphic photo too!
ReplyDeleteThose colorful chairs made for a great photo.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot! I need to go to Portland again and explore the city a little more. I have only been there a few times and each time, it was for only a few days.
ReplyDeleteI love the color combination here. I sometimes think we are becoming a world of dull plastic and metal. These are a refreshing change.
ReplyDeleteNow those are Santa Fe colors. Nice photo.
ReplyDeleteOh what bright colorful chairs waiting for their next assignment. The colors remind me of colorful Santa Fe. -- barbara

ReplyDeleteI love this kind of picture, even more in winter!
ReplyDeleteFun pile of very brightly colored wooden chairs!
ReplyDeleteAre you sure the "Lady in Red" wasn't in Minnesota? Ooops - forgot you got a monster snow blizzard too!
