"The Grounds of Alexandria" is an artisan bakery, an in-house coffee roastery and café, located on the corner of Bourke Road and Huntley Street, in the inner city suburb of Alexandria. It is located in a former pie factory from the early 1900s in the Alexandria Creative Park, which also contains the redeveloped factory, chimney and silo of a former linseed oil factory. This site also features a garden of organic herloom vegetables and fragrant herbs which supplies the kitchen. The truck loaded with hay bails acts creates a unique sign, with the logo painted on the side.
That old truck looks part of the scenery as if it had taken root. Good composition.

ReplyDeleteVery eye-catching and great example of reusing - one of the very dimensions captured in artisanal work! And a great triple-use post.
ReplyDeleteA very creative sign indeed, and a perfect interpretation of Theme Day. I love finding old trucks, many of which look even more-loved than this one.
ReplyDeleteBises,

My daughter loves this place, but I understand that parking on the weekend is well-nigh impossible. Tuesday early is okay though. Really great entry for the theme, Jim.
ReplyDeleteIt's extremely popular and parking is a problem.
DeleteUnique! A very cool interpretation of the theme.
