So what makes a quintessential country town ... old shops with verandahs, lots of empty windows, home grown signs and with the bit of luck a Royal Hotel.
The tiny camera's tiny battery ran out so I went back to my reading. The note with the sculpture says "This bronze and copper sculpture contrasts a series of small human forms with the architectural weight of on oversize staircase. The artwork has a philosophical aspect by reflecting on the effect of reading on the spirit - 'the more I read the smaller I feel'." Crikey, I dunno about you but if reading made me feel like that I'd stop.
So much to like about this, to start with: the morning fog. It doesn't look to be thriving, does it? So reminds me of Denman, except even Denman is better than this. I think you have its "Royal". I found a "royal" on George Street a couple of weeks ago.
ReplyDeleteSend the Royal in. It is time I updated the gallery. I might find time over Christmas. I even collected a new one of my own this week.
DeleteThis end of town is not thriving. BTW it is Dunedoo.
Wonderful photo. It has a real vintage feel to it, even down to the empty street.
ReplyDeleteA cold frosty Sunday morning ... no wonder the street is empty. I find Dunedoo in the daytime to be quite a lovely little down and it certainly has a vintage feel which is of course charming.
DeleteThe weather makes it look sad and old.
ReplyDeleteI agree old but I am not sure if I think it is a sad look, more mystery to me.
DeleteAnother beautiful shot - love the misty weather.
ReplyDeleteI think it looks peaceful and reassuring.
Interesting to see how we all interpret the image differently.
