Your bench/desk on the Isle of Skye reminds me of the set up for Ira Glass' "This American Life" program. He would have his desk set up in the most isolated locations to introduce his topic.

Now it's probably anchoring someone's backyard landscaping. Tacky. Yes, the ranch is sweet, but the grass is always greener by the sea.SamArtDoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07322356829966791319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1816170091944672081.post-29850930944397353552011-03-26T07:08:39.267-07:002011-03-26T07:08:39.267-07:00interesting re author and books, and i really like...interesting re author and books, and i really like this long sketch-i too am jealous of your close proximity to the sea<br />you are right about the bench-the best bench i ever found was on the isle of Skye--after hiking quite a steep hill i reached the top to find a bench/DESK-it was heaven looking down into the sea and sketching-wouldn't it be cool to do a show inspired by benches?Jan Yates, SCA, Canadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14699517511325366933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1816170091944672081.post-85850691297193622622011-03-26T06:48:21.039-07:002011-03-26T06:48:21.039-07:00The sketch is effortless - always a good trait.
