There’s still a few days for Jude’s bench challenge, this month it’s benches with people or other objects on them. This one was taken a few years ago on the waterfront at Kota Kinabalu. I’ve always felt that the blurriness gives it a slightly dreamy quality as the people gaze out on the islands of Tunku Abdul Raman park. What could they be thinking as they enjoy the view, is their conversation interesting, or perhaps they are silent?
Do you have a bench photo to share with the world? visit Jude, she’ll explain!

Very dreamy, Gilly!
I’ve been there and remember all the beautiful sunsets. Sitting on a bench was about all I could do after climbing Kinabalu (worst decision of my life!)
What a beautiful sunset. I think I would sit quietly and absorb it all in before saying anything 🙂
I love sunsets. This one is particular lovey with the sea as well.
Yes, this IS dreamy and the sunset is unbelievable. Magnificent capture, Gilly. I guess the bench was well-placed. 🙂 🙂
Lovely bench and sunset shot, Gilly. I think total silence would be the way to go. 🙂
This is absolutely beautiful. When I was on Tioman Island off the coast of peninsular Malaysia, I was deep in thought as to where to travel in the coming weeks…Malaysian Borneo was high on the list. I didn’t make it out there but wish I did. This picture is incredible. I remember the sunsets in Aceh Province off the northern coast of Sumatra looking about as stunning as this one here. Thanks for bringing me back!
Stunning sunset!
You wouldn’t need conversation, would you? 🙂
I took the title literally, Gilly, and thought you were going to do a monumental cheat with an image of a setting sun, sitting on a bench. Heck- I can hardly even say that! Lovely image 🙂
Well I like you imagination!
Now that would have been spectacular!
This is stunning! 🙂
I’m with Sylvia. This deserves total silence. What a lovely memory for you.
Very warm morning love it
Love the reflection of the sky on the water – could sit there for hours – only the sky would change by then!
