Here we go, the empty house for this trip. I trudged through ripening grass seeds and burrs to get this shot .... yes spring is quickly passing giving a high-noon summery bleach to the image.
I retire from the workforce this week and to celebrate have decided to retire my current blogs and start afresh with a single consolidated blog - My Bright Field - to record the delights of my new life adventure.
If you are interested follow me over there. I will still be Sweet Wayfaring and collecting Royal Hotels. The delights I discover along the way will appear together with my gardens and towns where I live.

It is a bit like Spring was "wafted" over our country rather than having a season.
ReplyDeleteI love this house. It is so easy to see the two halves of the 20thC in the construction style.
Once again, I am surprised that noone has run off with the tank ...
Yes, I after the sheep shearing shed I was looking forward to seeing the empty house.

The hard sunny colour and light is amazing to my eyes.
This housed a family? It looks a bit small.
ReplyDeleteAB, I checked other shots I took and at the back there is a brick scillion as big as the main house and on that a further wooden scillion. And there is the wooden addition near the tank that Julie noticed ... I think the house grew as the family grew.
ReplyDeleteMartina, yes Australian light is hard and clear, but here in the mountains we also get softer light a lot of the time (that is part of the attraction of the place).
A beautiful photo, JE, and the corrugated iron roof is a boon for me. It really makes me wonder about the people who lived there. Did you go inside?
ReplyDeletePaula, no I didn't go inside, I always stay on my side of the fence. Like many of the empty dwellings I have photographed there was a living house a little further up the hill.
