When traveling on roads around the world
so you will meet many memorials or monuments along the roads
the reason for them can be very different – they all have in common
that they often are high in the landscape and that there’re placed benches
these benches usually have a magnificent view of the area
every time you pass such a place without stopping, so you’ll miss a great view.
…..
Bonus – the (maybe) best kissing bench of world – an earlier post:
Camouflaged romance
…..
This theme is really a “sitting” travel theme
with inspiration from Ailsa’s excellent blog
take a look the challenge here “Where’s my backpack”
this’s my version of the theme “Benches”.
Memorials and monuments, you find them in many countries, you are wright about the view, don’t miss it. 🙂

It’s interesting, these places of memorial having such superb views. I never thought about it, but you are right about that.

The reason would be, I think, so that they can be seen from far away – the side benefit is that the view from there is often fantastic… 🙂
