On The Beach

The crashing waves at night make a ghostly sound. The sea disappears into the dark as far as the eye can see, yet the crashing waves abound whether we see them or not.  Continue reading “On The Beach”

The Green Forest

The Green Forest

It’s nice to be far from the madding crowd. Sitting, relaxing, and listening to birdsong, alone with nothing more than your thoughts. Continue reading “The Green Forest”

You’re Never Alone With A Tree

Spring Tree

Some trees have been here for hundreds of years. They never complain, they just tree. If only they could talk. The things they must have seen, the changes, hundreds of years through snow, rain and sunshine. Continue reading “You’re Never Alone With A Tree”

A Room Full Of Books

Library

Being in a room full of books is like being in a room with all of your friends. Each one is a conversation, full of memories or imaginations, telling stories to keep us enthralled. Continue reading “A Room Full Of Books”

Spending The Day With An Old Friend

Spending The Day With An Old Friend

There’s nothing wrong with spending the day at the graveside of an old friend or loved one. If we’re lucky they may even turn up in the flesh, so to speak. Continue reading “Spending The Day With An Old Friend”

Watching The Watcher

Watching the watcher

A lone house in the middle of nowhere. Someone is watching. Standing outside, menacing, intimidating and worrying. Who is it? What do they want? Continue reading “Watching The Watcher”

Northern Lights

Northern Lights

I’ve always wanted to see the Northern Lights. A fascination of greens waving in the night time northern sky, certainly a sight to behold. Continue reading “Northern Lights”

Follow Your Dreams

Follow Your Dreams

It’s easily said, follow your dreams, but actually doing it is a lot harder or so it is believed. If there’s one piece of advice I could offer any young person then this is what it would be. Continue reading “Follow Your Dreams”

Switching On The Sunset

Switching On The Sunset

After a day of doing whatever you want, there’s nothing better than sitting at the coast side and watching someone come and turn on the sunset. Continue reading “Switching On The Sunset”

About Me

Sat with Matt

ABOUT ME

Benchman is my alter ego. I like nothing more than watching the world go by. I live in Wales and in my opinion I live amongst some of the best scenery in the world. Even the same views constantly change with the weather and the seasons.

bway Steve
I enjoy all things creative especially music and art, including photography and the use of Photoshop. With this in mind, Benchman was born. As bwaySteve said, ‘If you have a bench, you have the universe.’ It’s a very apt quote. I can take Benchman anywhere I want in my imagination. I take most of the photographs myself, usually of views that appeal to me and I think will fit in with Benchman’s view.

Ideas
I have to admit though, some of the ideas end up being completely different to how they started out. It’s all part of the fun. I hope you can find enjoyment, perhaps even inspiration in some of the work I have done with Benchman. Thank you for taking the time to read. Enjoy and may your day be as peaceful as Benchmans.
