I quite like those wooden Adirondack chairs that you see over there. Many porches in Canada had them when I lived there in the 90s.

You probably noticed that sidewalks (pavements in the UK) and front gardens are very rare in urban Taiwan, so any chairs are more noticeable if they are outside a house. They're just not as common as my snaps might suggest.

Not in USA either that I know of either, although I wonder if it isn’t also climate-induced and cultural. Folks don’t sit around outdoors that much up north because it’s too cold, or out in the open in public (unless they’re homeless) because it’s not in the culture. We’re all stuck indoors alone, staring at the TV or something.

I wonder about the south though. I’m going to keep an eye out in Tucson and around when we’re down there next month, and if I can hold a thought that long I’ll do the same in southern France next spring. Maybe it’s something you’d see if I were more observant.

I seem to see quite an assortment here. It's not a sight you see in Europe... certainly not in the UK: someone would steal the thing within a week.

These chairs really make me smile.

I got a bit lucky today. It's the back streets that seem to have the most chairs. I'll just have to venture down more of them.

Very nice bricks as well.

Running up the score. Shouldn’t you be banking some of these against hard times?

Got quite a nice streak going. I’m envious.

It seems that my journal would be incomplete without a daily chair photo.

I think you have quite a nice chair collection by now!

You’ll have to watch the markets for a new cap that matches your sharp new jersey.

Did it have concrete inside?

I have already posted this kind of pylon … the shedding pylon. Nice.

It's a nice chair. Sometimes there's an elderly women sat in it.
