This image is a delightful invitation to pause and reflect ... . just a moment of stillness to listen to the river and perhaps contemplate that tempting single orange.
There is a lot of stone work here! Above that palm with the green vine..as well as the path- really nice bench JM. That orange is waiting to be picked!
I think it's a while since you've shown us a bench. This one is interesting, it looks cool and damp with all that moss but in a warm place with the orange and date palm.
So, I'm guessing that if you sat on one of those benches you could hear the water rushing by. There is a lot to see in this photo, an orange, palms, moss, and more.
Ribeira da Laje, the small river that crosses downtown Oeiras, runs between the two walls but can't be seen from this angle.

A cozy little alcove for two, with one orange showing. And water running. Nice.
I can feel the cool, mossiness from here!
What a pretty spot! You will have to show us what the river looks like between the two walls one day JM.

How old is it? Doesn't look too comfortable, but still would be a nice place to sit if you'd been standing all day!
What, you don't have alligators in Portugal? We can fix that!
Jacob, this bench must be about 250 years old, once it's in the gardens of the palace which was the city founder's house, the first Count of Oeiras.
Is it an orange? Lovely, and the bench is superb:)

Ah - after the (horrendous) day I've had, I would love to park myself on that 'old bench' and exhale...
But you make it so easy to imagine it. How nice to sit on that bench, the river running behind, the orange tree before you.
old but charming :)
It looks like a quiet place where to sit and rest for a while. The bench must be rally old...
Lovely composition. Enjoy seeing the vegetation surrounding the bench. Would be ever so relaxing to sit there for awhile.
I love, love, love the moss growing up on the sides of that bench, JM!

You bring wine, I'll pick the orange to go with it! LOVE the moss on the stone.
