Benches By The Sea

Found these two benches not very far from the historic Louisbourg Fortress, which was originally established by French in 1713 to control entry to the St. Lawrence Estuary. The fortress was badly damaged in 7 years war and abandoned. It is under restoration now. Pity the GSV camera didn't go upto the the fort. There is a cemetery close to the right of the benches and presence of a plaque near the benches leads me to presume that these are some kind of memorial benches. When seen in sepia or in greytones there appears to be some inscription on the bench on the left. Due to location and historical past of the area, I was tempted to make it into a gloomy dark painting but finally decided to process the GSV in bright colours to keep it in tune with bright moods of NS.
