Bandstand (PiP)

Captured at Blake Gardens, Bridgwater, Somerset. The old bandstand sadly sees little use these days and is in need of repair and decoration. It used to be so nice to sit here and listen to bands playing whilst enjoying the sunshine and gardens.

The PiP is of the flower bed with walkway through the park on the left of the picture. On the other side of the wall is the River Parrett.

I have added a song by Aha. Here is ' The Banstand'

and the bandstand needs fixing so here is 'Fix You' and a live performance by Coldplay and Ed Sheeran

I love the play between light and shadow on the bandstand, Carol. The flower-bed provides the ideal foreground interest. I hope you have a fantastic new week. All the best, Joe

Thank you very much Joe. I am pleased you like it. It saddens me a little that the bandstand has been left in this state but the flower beds are nice.

Have a good week ahead

Excellent composition in both images and I'm sure a makeover will happen when the park returns to town control in April, HBM and a good week

It would be nice to see it given a lick of paint and get bands back there. Lovely shot, Carol!

I like this time of year when blooming flowers are a clear sign that winter is ending and spring arrives. Let's hope that the bandstand gets a makeover soon.

A wonderful spring photo, and hoping that this bandstand will one day find something out of its old fame... HBM Carol.

A wonderfully colourful scene Carol, very nicely composed. I know money is tight, but it does seem a shame that such a focal point in the park may deteriorate so much that it has be be removed (Health & Safety), at great expense no doubt.

Enjoy your day, Doug
