from March 30, 2012
At the end of a driveway - in this case I don't think the bicycles are being thrown out, but I may be wrong as for many years I biked to work on bikes that I either got free or paid less than $10 and they were fine.

Top Ten Couch Photos Taken at Night #2
from November 16, 2010- the nicest photo were the flash creates the ambience- not quite 6pm but it gets dark early in Montreal in the winter. It was gone before I passed by the next morning.

Top Ten Couch Photos Taken at Night #6
I wrote about this encounter when it happened - they were throwing out the couch below and replacing it with the red one which they had carried for probably more than a kilometer!
the couch below was not there the next morning when I passed by!

Top Ten Couch Photos Taken at Night #9
from February 6, 2013 - not in season yet, nor on my bike route - but I saw these two couches while driving my son downtown and casually indicated to him that I had seen them as we drove past - He said "Just photograph them on your way home" - so I took his advice

Top Ten Couches - while away #1
from May 27, 2012 in Florence Italy
I have begun to have a bit of a reputation for being able to find couches, and had a number of people waiting to see if I would find any on our European holiday. I was very excited to come across this one in the old city and especially as I was able to post it at the time.

Top Ten Couches - while away #2
from August 8, 2010 in Burlington Vermont
My wife and I went for a weekend getaway and I can't remember exactly where this couch was, but it was where we were in that I know we didn't stop the car to take the photo.

Top Ten Couches - while away #3
From July 25, 2010
My sister in law is an artist who has converted a church in Mew Brunswick into her studio. We visited her and I saw this in the next door neighbour's back yard. It really isn't abandoned at the moment - but I have a premonition that after a few rainstorms it may be.

Top Ten Couches - while away #5
from September 9, 2009 in Hungary.
We went on the trip with a few couples, including the Mailaths ( a count) who were descended from wealthy landowners. We went to see two of the estates - one is now an Unesco site - while this one had been turned into an school for wayward girls and subsequenbtly abandoned. The building was completely empty except for these couches.

Top Ten Couches - while away #10
a three way tie for tenth- just had to put as many as I could of these couches (although not all- Paris and Frankfurt were very poor specimens). Above from January 1, 2011 near my sisters in the Catskills in upper state New York, a few days after the one below taken from a moving car while in New York City. The last one below is from February 3, 2012 while visiting my nephew and family in Fort Lauderdale
