    Another very interesting bench and more colorful than some. That fender would be a good place to lay one’s weary head, if one had a weary head! Such a variety of fun sculptures you have in San Francisco!

    Looks like a sit up bench to me except for the bright orange.

    I like your shots of the Chinatown mural from yesterday.

    Not as imaginative as some of the other seating, but could be comfortable.

    A simple bench and the fender looks like a nice place to rest your feet.
