Creative seating featured on the street in Belfast

DSCN9688The one-holer first got my attention, placed on the sidewalk near a busy intersection in downtown Belfast. The creative community is large and active in this vibrant coastal community, and their Main Street seating really is amazing.

On both sides of the street, creative seats are placed, all of them inviting you to sit a while. I tried them all.

 

DSCN9690Sitting in this seat, it was very tempting to find a twig and start playing the drums!

 

 

 

 

 

DSCN9689Yes, this piano is so well done that I was certain I could play it, but it’s only a wooden seat!

 

 

 

 

DSCN9691This wooden seat has a very creative back.

 

 

 

 

 

I wanted to take this one DSCN9693home and put it out on my woodlot as a deer hunting stand. Boy, is it beautiful!

 

 

 

 

DSCN9696And these shovels were surprisingly comfortable, except they reminded me that winter is coming!
