Humber Street, Oamaru

An interesting old building that was a bit of a ruin but then was sold to someone who painted the front and tidied it up a bit. Inside is a bit of a mystery.
I took this at night and it wasn't so clear so it became a painting.

Three good things;
1. Its getting colder at nights
2. John put old string beans and tough radishes into the smoothie maker and the good thing is that I don't have to drink it!
3. Buttermilk makes good pancakes - they are even better if you remember to put sugar in them!

Nice shot of this honey-coloured Oamaru stone building. The night adds mystery.

This shot really does work well with the low light.

So atmospheric and love how you processed! Why is the inside a mystery? Now you have me intrigued.

[Maggiemae]

@flygirl I've never seen the doors open since it was sold! They are big doors and used to house horses!

Kind of makes me think of the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas. I'll post a picture of it to see what you think.
