Bench Series #49

….. for the month of December Jude from Travel Words challenges us to post a bench of our choice

When I saw that I could post a photo of any bench that I liked I remembered coming across two very unusual benches in the park that I frequently walk through. These two benches are part a memorial garden for the former patients of the Lakeshore Psychiatric Hospital that closed its doors in the late 1970s. They look more like sculptures but you can sit on them.

A Photo a Week Challenge – Movie Reference

…join Nancy Merrill in her Photo a Week Challenge 

I really didn’t think I had anything to share for this challenge until I remembered that the Humber College buildings that we pass almost daily on our walks were used eons ago for the movies.

The building that I’ve photographed was was originally on the Lakeshore Psychiatric Hospital grounds and was used as the headquarters of the police academy for the movie. The actual building appeared in Police Academy 1 (1984), 3 and 4. The series starred Steve Guttenberg and Kim Cattrall.

Today the grounds were bought up by Humber College and all the buildings, except the one used in the movie have been restored and are now used as classrooms and offices.

….they say that stripes are worn by very organized people but if worn in the wrong direction they can also emphasis areas of your body that you should probably minimize

Here’s my tribute to stripes. For more photos featuring stripes go to  Nadia Merrill Photography.
