An idea struck me after viewing some new youth art in the breezeway at the Santa Fe Depot!
As you can see in the first two photographs, the artwork depicts different benches and different people sitting on benches. This cool art was painted by 10th Grade students from the San Diego School of Creative and Performing Arts, after viewing an exhibit at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego.
The particular concern of the students was how interaction with everyday objects affects human behavior. The common object that was considered was the bench.
After viewing this artwork, it suddenly occurred to me that I’ve taken many photos of benches around San Diego, including some that are quite unusual or thought-provoking. And many that are super creative and artistic!
So I decided to search for a variety of these past bench photographs and share them again all at once!
How would you interact with these benches?

I live in downtown San Diego and love to walk around with my camera! You can follow Cool San Diego Sights via Facebook or Twitter!
Great benches! I really love the Oz one. Liberty Station has several great benches!
