That's an interesting building, it looks like it could have been a railway station in the past. You always have the most beautiful blue skies in Sydney.
ReplyDeletewhat a pretty little cottage. I like the picket fence too.
ReplyDeleteInteresting building. Probably started as a residential dwelling.
ReplyDeleteanything built in the old days are now heritage even a little building like that... how can you manage to take pictures without any person in the background?
ReplyDeleteLindz, in the busy commercial areas, I usually pick a quiet afternoon on the weekend to take my pictures. For the recreational areas I usually visit on a weekday when most people are working. It also often involves some waiting around for the right moment when people are out of shot.
ReplyDeleteJBAR,
