Re-living the Past #17 – My first building photos

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Buildings

These are from 2017. I can’t remember all of them but I’ll give it a go

A wonderful old Sydney building with it’s front fascia preserved and grotesque modern apartments built behind. Australia has no idea of preserving our heritage unfortunately. This saddens me.

Up the road from my place on a farm on the Clarence Ricer at Lilydale an old shed and silo

Somewhere in Europe

Maybe Paris?

Debbie’s One Word Sunday: Rain

So many rain songs to choose from but here is one from an Aussie and the title – Raining on Sunday

Another post of looking back at first photos tagged Rain. As I expected the first one in 2012 wasn’t just rain, it was a Rainbow Lorikeet in my garden. So did look further on and it did take a bit of scrolling to find a photo that wasn’t a Rainbow Lorikeet.

From 2015 the rain had gone and left a couple of rainbows but still no actual rain photo. A photo from my desk where I used to work

An actual rain photo didn’t happen until 2017. This one is from an apartment in Sydney with a fabulous view.

The Lens-Artists Challenge #166: Artificial Light

I wondered if I would include a song with this post.

Sometimes words come into my head, sometimes they are mine and they will find their way onto the post. Other times someone elses words just drift in and need to drop into the post. This is one such song. I love Robin Gibbs voice and the brothers harmonies are wonderful. Have a listen as you scroll.

“Alons, viens encore, cherie.
J’attendrai patiemment sous la lampe dans la vieille avenue.”

Debbie’s quotation inspired image

“”It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold, when it is summer in the light and winter in the shade.”

– Charles Dickens

A fortuitous song find for the quote

The Lens-Artist Photo Challenge #140: A Change of Scenery

As we are travelling a bit, let’s take some music with us. This is an Aussie band called Fraternity. You may recognised the singer playing the recorder. It’s Bon Scott, the lead singer of ACDC when they first started out, before his time in ACDC.
