gave this a bit of ye olde fuzziness adjusteriser.... if it doesnt fit with regulations i have the original too.
this is a ex-farmhouse near home
its soon to become the home to a small geocache too
Yep Dave, it's one of the Miners shacks at Sovereign Hill!
There are actually real shacks like that around here! I will go for a walk up the street tomorrow and I'll try to photograph some if this weather improves and enter it in here. I can see 2 perfect examples from my back door!!
I went for a walk this morning (beautiful day!) and found heaps of targets within 5 minutes walking distance.
In fact I got so many shots I couldn't decide which one to put in the competition so I just picked the sunniest one!
Because I can only enter one pic in here and so you can see the beautiful old buildings I am surrounded with I will place the other pics in another thread and call it 'Old Buildings'.
Here's a shot I took of the the ruins of the old Harbour Master's cottage in Port Willunga. Not the best one I took, but it does have the moon in frame
I thought i would make up the numbers :-) shot taken near Melrose, southern flinders Ranges a few years ago.

Simmonston, SA. The town that never was. Located between Hawker and Quorn is this nice little township that never was. It was Surveyed in 1872 as one of the six proposed sites where the railway north of Quorn would go. Unforunately the town didn't even get off the ground, the railway was moved to the east of the ranges and the two buildings that were built soon succumb to the elements.
This land is actually up for sale again, for more information call Quorn Real Estate. (100% prime observing skies with mag 7+ skies)
Mine isn't overly artistic Its of the back of our shed. I liked the colour the grass turned out as it was raining yesterday. I took it with a simple Sony Digicam on a tripod
Here's another one from the Flinders Ranges. I can't remeber the name of the place but it's not far directly north from Pt Augusta, near the Leigh Creek coal train line. The Flinders is dotted with the ruins of towns left to die after the railway moved west and from farms that never survived the droughts.
Here's mine, literally. I started building this shack in 1987, still haven't finished it. Cost me less than $20K to build including the land and it's around 100 metres from the water. The resemblance to the Ettamoogah pub is purely coincidental....
I have a shot of the building itself but I liked this one better, so I'm not sure
if you have to shot the building as a whole or just use an old building in the
theme.
Looking out through a window in the old administration building of the now
defunct Coombell Bricks Co. Which is pretty much located at the bottom of
my drive way.
