These lines are actually bleachers at the soccer field near our house.
They haven't started to play yet.
But when they do you can bet parents and family members will be lining up to watch.

Really fun shot. They look like they go on forever.
I'll bet it's more peaceful there right now than it will be when those bleachers are lined with crazy, often obnoxious, parents and grands.
Bleachers always hurt my boney butt. :(
Lights too. I bet that's fun to deal with when the season's in full swing, huh?
When they get going the place is always busy. It's part of a complex of 2 soccer fields a baseball diamond, tennis and basketball courts.
Yeah, you'd probably want to bring a cushion.
Well, the field's just far away enough not to worry about the effect of the lights at night, or the noise. And we wouldn't want folks paling in the dark.
Something about bleachers... makes a great photo
I took several shots from different angles but this perspective was my favourite. Like Cheryl said, it looks like they go on forever.
I'm thinking splinters. heh heh
How do these wooden bleachers last the Canadian winters? No warping? heh heh
Ha, ha. That really would make watching soccer quite uncomfortable.
Great angle for the shot, duf! Wonderful idea for the theme. Rah! Rah! Go Duf!
Very nice angle on this photo! We were sitting on those in Atherton yesterday watching my granddaughter Emma play La Crosse, (however you spell it!)
Thank you, ma'am. I liked that angle best.
I believe it's "lacrosse" - a Native Canadian game!
Oh wow, those are some seriously long bleachers. Great photo, dufus, and great take on the theme. :)
Well they're the length of the soccer field. But taken at one end of the stands they look like they go on forever. I thought it was kinda neat.
Wow. I haven't seen wooden bleachers in AGES. It's all metal around here. Great photo!

Less likelihood of burning your butt in the hot sun!
Yeah I know , you guys don't play football very well, hence the "yet", but one day you will, Beckham will teach you (the high-pitched dweeb that moved over there).
Meleah is right about the fact there aren't any wooden bleachers around here either. Haven't seen any in years. What a great photo and perfect for the theme.
Awesome shot, Dufus, and it looks like a gorgeous day too. Love the angle!
Totes!
Great shot, Dufus. I spent so much time sitting on bleachers in the last 10 or 15 years, I can't even add it up. Entire years, I suspect. I've probably got lines on my ass from it.
What is the "totes" of which you speak?
You Brits always confuse me with the term "football". It's just not the same as our football in North America. The "yet" is in reference to the weather. It's too cold for soccer season.
It's a good point. I hadn't thought of that. I suppose we'd better watch out for splinters.
Thanks, Nicky. I appreciate it. It was a gorgeous day. This is the day that when I turned around I took a picture of my shadow for Day 12.
So like, you must be an honourary member of the FAS. (The Flat Ass Society)
Oooh, yeah, splinters. I've had a few. Really good shot, dufus, mostly because of the angle.
;-)
Ouch, I'd hate when that happened.
It's short for totally!
Ah, okay. I kept seeing you use it and I thought it was internet-speak like lmao and lol, etc., but didn't know what it stood for.
Now I get it. Totes.
Bleachers bring back a lot memories. I think they're built the same way everywhere.
TOTES!! LOLZ
Not many wooden bleachers left anymore. Not here anyway. Splinters vs hot buns. Not a very good choice, is it? I spent the last week watching soccer...never to be confused with football! Hope you had a happy celebration last night!
Memories on the bleachers or under the bleachers?
Soccer does not equal football. no way. Had a great celebration with a good crowd of family and friends. Thanks Malisa. Too bad you couldn't make it.
Now that's a loaded question ;)
Next year!
Great minds think alike!!! Those stands look so much better than the metal ones we sit in... they get COLD on your tush!
Yep, exactly. I wonder why they call them bleachers. Ever wonder? Or "stands"? I mean, after all, they should probably call them "sits".
I just looked it up on Wikipedia. The name comes from the wood being bleached by the sun. How about that?

I'll hold you to it.
Okay, I'll leave it at that.
Cool! I spent half of Saturday sitting on hard aluminum bleachers. These look much rommier than those.
I hope the weather was warm. You wouldn't want to spend half a day freezing your tush off.
Yeah it's summer in Georgia. The problem was staying cool.

Oh and aluminium bleachers can really heat up. Ouch.
