And this one is not as old as some ... I say that because of the timber frame. I wonder when the settlers made that transition - from double brick to timber?
That bluff is surely handsome, and to position a home within its lee shows a wonderful feel for nature.
Tumbleweed It was August (known to be a windy month of the year) and it was blowing a gale. Tumbleweeds hurtled across our path, pressed forward by the busy wind. While I was photographing the tumbleweed, I braved the icy blast to find a few more tiny flowers and fruits by the roadside.
The Pinnacles, Broken Hill Clear blue sky is very dull! But there is something of interest in the image. These odd shaped mountains appear on the skyline just outside the city. I had planned otherwise for my closing sky today. On a hill outside town there are wonderful sandstone sculptures which I saw the last time I was here. I planned to photograph them against the setting sun but we left our run too late, so you don’t get to see them until our return journey.
*lol*

As far as I know the choice of brick vs timber was based on what was the building material most readily available.
ReplyDeleteThere is a photo of the Turon River coming up later in this series that has a bluff like that ... it made for a very nice shot.
oh wow, that's great. I like the debris scattered around the building.
ReplyDeleteI love this picture.
ReplyDeleteI can't tell how big it is but it looks like it met its match. From a scenic point of view it's a grand view.
ReplyDeleteOh - it looks so sad.
