C/ Alphabe-Thursday

 CHAIR made of skis

This week's Alphabe-Thursday challenge: C

Here's an idea for recycling skis, which I think is rather clever. Have you ever seen this style of chair before?

A second CHAIR made of skis

    You find the most incredible shots!

    And, yes, 13,000 photos now. Many of the grandkids. What can I say????

    I love digital photography!

    We live in a ski area where making chairs of old skis is popular. These are great.

    What a coincidence! I just photographed a similar chair made from hockey sticks.

    A great day for me to stop in to visit! Love those ski "benches." The ones I have seen are shortened tho. . . guess they cut the skis in half to make a longer bench?

    They would be for royalty...at least that was my first thought when I saw what it was.

    If the chair had skies on the bottom I just might try sliding down a slippery slope.
    I love the rainbow of colors.
