Cliche? Classic? Whatever, I like the composition and mood. I'd love to sit down there and do some contemplating. :)

Thanks, Michael, for the gracious feedback. Thanks, Melbob. I guess the coordinates are where I parked the car before getting out to take the shot. You probably use the Super-Zoom version of GE since I could not make out that amount of detail! :-) Regards and thanks for commenting. jnconradie

Hey Nico, I searched your coordinates in GE and zoomed into the front garden of a house by the beach. Some cars parked down the street and I think I can see the bench or at least where it is likely to be? ... Not as pretty as yours though!... and is that a fast food wrapper I see on the ground... you have 'little piggies' there too? ~ Regards Melbob

I dunno, Nico, if I would think of it as cliché or classic. One thing that is different here from the "brochure cliché" is your handling of the colors. They are not pushed, but rather seem vibrant in their naturalness. Either way, "cliché" or "classic", I'll take a time-out on that bench any day. -Michael
