Black and White Challenge:
Buildings.
~~~~~
This was one of my favourite buildings to photograph,
however the wreckers have razed the site last week
and these are now memories.
One of Geelong’s earliest brick buildings.
Also in Geelong and old wool store,
now part of Deakin University, I believe.
Not uncommon are he stone and mortar building
early settlers created.
Contemporary settlers have other ideas
of what building should look like.
And a night can be spent at Werribee Zoo in these buildings.
I don’t think it would compare to seeing an elephant’s eye
in one’s torch-light, or a myriad of other animals
in and around our camp as in Botswana.
A special memory was the lion roaring
ten minutes after we had crawled into
our canvas tents for the night.

Great photos. I took photos of the Albert Hotel ( one of our oldest buildings) and then a couple of days later it was gone. Sad but it was falling down. So it was good to get a record of it.

Many people do not think something is worth photographing until it is gone. If anyone bothers to search through my photos after I am gonoe they will find a varied collection of people and places through the ages.

It is sad in a way to see old buildings be torn down. I have a few photos that I took too that are now torn down. Great photos for this week Woolly. 😀

Love old buildings, especially barns and decaying small structures. Sorta sad, of course, but interesting. B&W offers a new way of seeing them!

Ditto. Country people seem to hold onto their old building much longer than city folk do. The blue stone wall of my Grandfather’s shearing shed was still standing up until ten to twelve years ago…Dad stopped using, for shearing, it in the mid fifties The new owners did not have that connection. It would still be standing if I had owned it as it was part of a much larger station until the 1920s.

That happens around here, too. I guess no one wants to spend money having something taken down, so they just let gravity and time take its toll.

I think that is probably correct.

Great photos, and such a shame that the top building has been pulled down!

Thank you. It is a shame but the memories will live on even though I had no connection with it.
