Still Flying the Flag

This photo follows on from yesterday's 'Round the Headland' collage.

As I walked around the headland I looked back across the bay and got a clearer photo of the two blue weekender shacks. They are the only two original shacks that are still standing on this stretch of the waterfront.

The huge properties towering over the shacks have become the new 'weekenders' and most of the new properties are only occupied at weekend and holidays. The owners probably live in Sydney and travel the two hours or so up here just for holidays.

The little blue fishing shack is still flying the flag and standing proud.

Love the little blue shack. The same is true here around Lake Michigan-huge homes used rarely.

Great capture

Fabulous shot across the bay. If the price were right, I am sure it will not sty there forever ;-)

[KoalaGardens🐨]

yeah that is what I remember as holiday houses from childhood, not the monstrosities surrounding that lovely old bluey

[Kat]

Still standing proud :)

Seeing your world is so good for me - so different and there is good focus and story!

[Issi Bannerman]

More beautiful houses there!

[Valerie Chesney]

Love the little blue shack...My G.Father had a holiday shack at a "then" little beach called Wellington Pt. where we had wonderful holidays as kids & we slept on mattresses on the floor & cooked our meals on a two burner stove. Now, it is a "popular" place for holiday apartments etc.

Hang in there, Little Blue!

[Peter]

Great show of defiance long may they continue its a heart warming story and image Babs:)

[Susan Wakely]

They are dwarfed by the other building. Let’s hope that they stay.

[Wylie]

wow those other buildings are mad for a weekender!

[Dione Giorgio]

It took me some time to find the flag but I did in the end. The new buildings are beautiful and modern but they spoil a bit the natural ambience that was enjoyed previously. But you cannot hold back progress, if you can call it that.

[Casablanca]

Ah look at that flag there, waving away! Always enjoy a waterside scene

[Esther Rosenberg]

I thought I remembers that blue shack from yesterday. Love the original old buildings, too bad, they are disappearing.

[Fisher Family]

I still prefer the little blue shack to the modern replacements.

Lovely shot.

[Lin]

What a lovely weekend/vacation shot - well captured.

[Lois]

Wow! This angle is easier to see the huge difference in size between buildings!

[Pat Knowles]

The contrast between the little blue shack & the modern holiday homes behind is remarkable but that little blue shack is worth a fortune!

[Joyce Lancaster]

They so small against the jumble of buildings behind them

[Santina]

wow, that little house looks like a miniature close to those buildings

[Yao RL]

This makes a great contrast to the shot I just finish commenting about homeless tents in the city.

[Margaret Brown]

I still like it the best!!

[carol white]

A super capture

[~*~ Jo ~*~]

Lovely little blue shack

[Carole Sandford]

So small against the vast new constructions!

[Mave]

Good shot

[Jean]

Not a fan of the new ones

[Pyrrhula]

This happen to our coast to. Now we try to limmit those houses. Great shot of this ones.

[KWind]

The "shack" is so cute! Love its colour.

I am sure the little blue shacks will disappear one day and will be knocked over to build a new house. The land alone here will probably fetch around 1 million dollars. @happysnaps I remember going to Wellington Point about 30 years ago, I am sure it has changed now just like this area has.

[Kathy A]

Goodness me, how tiny it looks from this angle! The colour and the flag really make it special

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Wow- this shot really shows how ostentacious and over the top those new "weekend" shacks have become!
