Goodness, that looks like an old, used and perhaps abused bench...a little TLC would make it sparkle, I'll bet!

It tells a thousand stories.

A bench for doing sitting penance?
And contemplating the place of St. Peter's crucifixion?

The wall is great, though.

It must have seen a lot but still is handsome.

Great textures, great colours, wonderful shot!

That is art. It looks like a collage with the colors, textures, and panel above. I'm finding that I'm having fun trying to imagine where the benches are before I read the caption. I didn't do it formally, I just realized I was doing it. I did not get this one right.

A very rustic bench. I like the color of the wall too!

@ Jacob: this makes the bench even more beautiful!! It tells a 1001 stories... If you "TLC" it, it'll loose history. It's a perfect shot with beautiful pastelcolours - all in balance with each other!!
