This week our topic is anything that is Benches. Don’t forget that picnic tables and some tables have benches rather than chairs. Feel free to take new photos or dig through your archives. The main object of this challenge is to have fun.
Upcoming Topics
For a list of upcoming topics, please see the list below. Be creative and challenge yourself. For a great black and white photo look for contrast or highly textured subjects to photograph.

- Back of things

This challenge accepts the following types of photography:
- Black and white photography
