As is obvious this has been in disrepair for some time. I don't think anyone lives here but someone must own it. It is only a short distance to the new cycle trail, Alps to Ocean, so if someone wanted to renovate it, it could be a good proposition. The Trail runs from Mt Cook in the South Island, NZ down to the ocean in Oamaru.
Three good things:
I. I have achieved a further step in photography - getting a blurred background. Found instructions.
2. The birds are all singing their hearts out in the trees.
3. Lovely bike ride this morning to this place.
Terrific capture, looks like a great potential investment 8-) I wonder what the story is, who built it? when ? why here ? what went wrong ?? Love your No2 we have magpies singing here.
Great capture of the old place -- it definitely has good bones. Someone should invest time and money and restore it. It puzzles me to see buildings like this -- who owns them? Why have they been abandoned?
I can definitely see potential here. I love all those windows and it looks like a nice chunk of property. I even see a bird house! Beautiful shot and great find!
This looks in not bad nick...the windows are all in & the hedges are cut round the front door....even a post box!! A rather beautiful home for someone with a bit of DIY skills.
Really interesting capture Maggiemae, i love the textures especially. I see there are still curtains in some windows and other things inside, wouldn't it be fascinating to be able to see the inside and photograph that?
