The subject for the September theme day couldn't be more ironic! After walking 12km in the City to Surf yesterday (tell you all about it tomorrow) although thankfully not rusty I am definitely a bit of a wreck :) About a week ago when I was driving home from the markets I couldn't believe my eyes when I spotted the rusty old wind paddle leaning against the ruins of Perry's Cottage, am sure it wasn't there before but how perfect for today!
The cottage in Yellagonga Park (a popular spot for walkers) built around 1850 using local limestone is a good example of English architecture adapted to local conditions. I've heard that the cottage will be restored but as yet haven't seen any signs of that happening.. Meanwhile my aching bones are heading off to bed early (it's Sunday night for moi) looking forward to catching up today, take care...p.s. first day of spring in Australia!

ReplyDeleteYour first two images of the rusty blades of the wind paddle hit the jackpot, Grace. I am impressed with your energy for the big event yesterday.

ReplyDelete12 km, Grace! I´m impressed.
ReplyDeleteWe went for a walk with Ingo´s parents this week, google said it was 2.something km, but Ingo´s Dad claimed it was "way over 10" ;-)
Beautiful shots!
That is a super mill. Like it.
