FRAMED
Today when I was out and about I took snapped a few photos of a lovely carved wooden bench outside a bookstore. Banyen Books and Sound is a survivor from the Seventies in what was once a hippy part of Vancouver and in some ways still retains that flavour. Its loyal customers have kept it in business for 40 years and it describes itself as focusing on Spiritual Traditions, Healing Arts and Earth Wisdom.
Ah, doesn't that take you back? But still all very relevant today as the very large bookstore carries a huge selection of books, music, DVDs, audio teachings, etc.
Well framed you ask. Would frames be OK instead? Specifically the frames of the harps played by the carved musicians, one of whom is distinctly surly looking. Click to enlarge for a better view.
I wonder if anyone ever sits on the bench or would it be a desecration?
Surly or cynical? What do you think?
This one looks more resigned to her fate but still not happy
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYONE

how fanciful! love it.
The expressions on their faces are funny. I love that bench, and I know I'd love that bookstore too. Makes me happy that a place like that can survive for 40 years!
Thanks for visiting mine and have a great weekend.
That is such a glorious bench. I love it!
I love the bench. The expressions on their faces are great. I like the fact that they don't have vapid calm looks but instead seem to have some fire in them. Happy Weekend.
Delightful bench quite detailed artwork - love it. Great choice JMB.
Aren't hippys "New Age" these days? ;b

I love their expressions! I would sit on the bench! Great take on the "framed" theme!
