Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
More photos of benches at random times and places around the SF Bay Area. (See my previous post from March 18th if you missed it – and really like benches.)
This bench makes for a nice shaded resting spot on the John Nicolas Trail in Sanborn County Park. It’s a pretty steep trail, as is common along the peninsula. (iPhone X)

I’m not sure why, but after moving to the SF Bay Area about 8 years ago, I started paying more attention to benches (and taking photos of them) while out on walks/hikes. And since I rarely stop and sit on them, it’s not age or fitness related!
One of the impressive things about this area is the huge number of city, county, regional and state parks along with other open space preserves that have been established. The photos below are all from urban or suburban areas, but even in the larger “backcountry” parks, you’ll often come across benches in surprising spots.
These are all iPhone photos.
This bench is tucked in under the trees in Golden Gate Heights Park – a small park in the Sunset District in San Francisco. The park is at the top of a steep hill, but this bench just has a view across a small clearing with more trees obscuring the expansive views you can get from the edge of the park.
