#holyroodbenchproject update #3 -- two blue benches

Last week I saw SEESA's Executive Director, Kim, when we were both out for an evening walk (or maybe she was heading to the Edmonton Folk Music Festival?). Her neighbourly bench had been missing for a few weeks, and when I asked her where it went, she said that one of the artists at SEESA was repainting it for her. Seems the benches in the neighbourhood, besides giving people a place to rest, have inspired more art too. Here's Kim's bench...

Who doesn't love Van Gogh's Starry Night ... 

this one above with a bit of an Edmonton skyline 

and some hidden objects for the kids to find...

Elsewhere in the neighbourhood, 

this bench (above) recently appeared.

(To see others, click here).

I'm wondering if this latest one is paying homage

to the Arrogant Worms' song about

the pirates on the River Saskatchewan...

If you've never heard that tune, 

here's a humourous cover version 

by Edmonton folk-rock band, Captain Tractor...

Even though our perennials are mostly past their peak,

it's still a lovely day to sit and enjoy a neighbourly bench. 

If you're interested in sharing a bench like this 

with your neighbours, they cost $100

and can be ordered from SEESA at (780) 468-1985.
