Old dray, Heathcote Victoria

This old dray sits forlornly in the shadows of the gums surrounding the old Heathcote powder magazine. The Magazine, now heritage listed, was constructed in 1864 by the then colonial Public Works Department for the McIvor gold diggings. Around the building, are many remnants of an earlier energetic, even frenzied search for gold.

I liked the shadow lines and I thought sepia suited the times.

Perfect treatment for this! Very nice!

This has a timeless look in how you've processed it.

[Louise & Ken]

Taffy already took the words out of my mouth! I would call this timeless as well!

Really suited to sepia tones. I think that the dray is beyond its best.

The sepia edit fits perfectly.

It has really settled in to the environment there hasn’t it? Great bit of history.

I do, as well, and I feel an urge to make a record as so much of 'the old stuff' (including me! LOL) is deteriorating.

Great choice of colours, it could be 150 years old.

Thankyou Borof, I thought the colour suited the history, so I am glad you agree. @borof
