A world of benches: Old Rauma, Finland

A world of benches: Old Rauma, Finland

This is the second in a series of posts featuring photos of benches I’ve encountered during my travels. Previously featured: Prague

Old Rauma is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Western Finland. You can read more about this town in my previous post “The charm of Old Rauma”. Here are some bench photos I took during our tour.

photo of a white bench in front of the Rauma Museum
This one is a favorite. The white bench just stands out from the colorful background of flowers and cobblestones while the sky looks a bit cloudy. This photo was taken in front of the Rauma Museum at high noon.

Another white bench. Photo taken at the rear of the Rauma Museum, where the garden exhibit was presented.

Benches scattered outside what looks like a shopping mall (or movie house?).

photo of a lone bench at the ruins of the Holy Trinity Church in Old Rauma
A lone bench at the ruins of the Holy Trinity Church (Pyhän kolminaisuuden kirkko) built in 1400 but was later destroyed by fire in 1640.

“Where are the burgers?” Dad and cutie sis waiting for food on a wooden bench with the burger joint nearby. Behind them is an ongoing road construction.
