Villa verandah

This is a lovely example of fine wrought iron lacework on this verandah. An old timber home beautifully maintained. I popped my nose and camera in at the driveway entrance while walking in Dunedin - about 1 and a half hours south of Oamaru. The shadow of the fretwork took my eye too! I must have enjoyed my walk so much and taking photos that I had a smile on my face! Everybody I met smiled at me!

You just don't see verandahs like that in the UK, I can just imagine sitting in a rocking chair with a nice chilled glass of something on there!

@happypat these return verandahs look great on the outside, Pat but they make the inside of the house very dark!

[Maggiemae]

@jackie8 I can just see me there with my Sauvignon blanc waving at photographers peeping round the hedge!
