Looks promising doesn't it, a bit like a scene from a McCubbin's painting :) On rounding the bend the most 'stuff' I've ever seen in one place. I definitely didn't expect to see a gorgeous peacock. Although I have been to many vintage markets etc this was my first trip to a bona fide salvage yard, was not prepared for the vast quantities of everything you can think of including the kitchen sink and bathtub! Despite the hot weather we have had over the last week we are in the middle of a big garden project, I know right, mad dogs and Englishmen out in the mid-day sun :) involving digging up and replanting a mature tree, paving etc. I thought I might find a huge and fabulous old planter pot here but discovered salvage does not = fabulous vintage 😉 One thing that did stand out were the avenues of majestic eucalyptus trees, stunning...
... and then on the way out this happened, and it hasn't stopped raining since. Just shows you when you wish for something hard enough, those wishes can come true :) Rain, thunder and lightening.. fabulous! Back to warmer weather next week but am enjoying it to the max while it's here 💧 Happy Friday, take care and stay safe..
...we could use a nice rain, it's been several weeks.
ReplyDeleteAgree! I also did not expect that peacocks will see in such a place!
ReplyDeleteI love that dramatic sky in the second last shot.
ReplyDeleteYay rain! I know exactly how happy that makes you when you live in a hot place.
ReplyDeleteThis place would be so much fun to explore but probably a bit overwhelming too. Too bad about you didn't find what you were looking for.
Well. it's about time you got some rain. I agree with William about the sky in that photo, it's awesome.
ReplyDeleteNo junk yard treasures for you on that day, Grace!
ReplyDeleteWell, you are finally getting some needed rain. Junk yards, salvage yards, flea markets, and thrift stores: never know what you'll find, and many times don't find.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're getting some much-needed rain at last. There's a salvage yard like that near here which gets some amazing stuff in it. For some reason I could never fathom some of the children I used to work with loved visiting there.
ReplyDeleteThe salvage yard looks intriguing. Lots of great junk with perhaps some treasures mixed in. Congratulations on your rain!
ReplyDeleteThe trees are gorgeous! Yay for the rain!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the trees. Don't work TOO hard!
ReplyDeleteA very handsome row of trees. The yard looks like it has everything you wouldn't want.
ReplyDeleteSend the rain here please, we would love it. btw Places like that to me are dangerous, I love finding old stuff.
ReplyDeleteNice post.
ReplyDeleteOften the hunt is more exiting then the find but who knows. Like that rain. You can use it.
ReplyDeleteHello Grace,
ReplyDeleteNice shots. Wionderful the trees in a raw.
But very special to see all these old things there. Inappropriate.
Let's hope the sun will come back soon.
Greetings, Marco
Happy hunting, I have send a lot of rain to you, but don't send it back to me...:)
ReplyDeleteYou certainly got me with the last pic, Grace!!! Awww. The last lightening was... I can hardly remember! And rain? Just grey here.
ReplyDeleteHmmm... rain :-)
I love those smooth tree trunks, reminds me that the forest trees will be shedding their bark about now.
