Very nice shot Andew. Gives me a nostalgic feeling. Oh you got the S in focus so you must have been thinking of me when you shot it! haha. Just joking, but it’s a lovely photo and reminds me of visiting my grandmother’s home. Classic shot.

Andrew Brown, about 1 year ago

Thanks midzing, I appreciate your comments. The colour is coming from the coloured glass in the front hall where the typewriter is located
