Dazzle Bench

Check out this cool bench! A friend of mine took this picture during one of our stops in Rothesay. The pattern has been painted on the origanally white bench in grey and black paint. I'm not sure if it's just graffiti or vandalism but it quite artistic.

We all commented on how the pattern reminded us of the black and white pictures of battle ships that were decorated with dazzle camouflage to avoid being torpedoed by submarines; the pattern made it hard to tell which direction the ship is moving and therefore it is very difficult to target. It's quite fitting considering the relationship between Bute and submariners during the war.
