The sun sets on us all

The sun sets on this old house, in more ways than one. I believe it shall soon be no more, it’s life given for a a new housing estate. No-one lives there now, but soon there’ll be hundreds of little blocks with little houses and not-so-little morgages!

This is such a stunning panorama!!! So sad what you have written in the description. Progress pushes on.
Steven Agius

Great looking panorama, excellent, well done.
Carlo Cesar Ro...

Wonderful panoramic view! Congrats!
lightsmith

Thank you derid. I kept driving by thinking soon it will be gone. Finally got around to bringing the camera!
lightsmith

Stephen, you wouldnt believe it but it’s only 20 seconds from the town. Thanks for your comments!
lightsmith

Carlo, thanks for your comments. It’s cropped – I should have done a proper panorama but my wideangle was so good I didn’t think of that! It reminds me of the sort of place that you could sit on the veranda and watch the sun go down…..

great panoramic view! Love the colors! I got a tad bit sad when I read what was happening to it. Sometimes progress sucks! Beautiful job on the photo and great little place. It`s a shame.
lightsmith

Thanks Starr – I agree. Sometimes cows graze in front of it, and I wonder where they’ll go when the subdividers arrive…..

lightsmith

change – the one thing we can’t avoid. Thanks for your comments ozczecho. it’s called progress but sometimes I have to wonder.

Mel Brackstone

That’s such a scary though, little blocks and not so little mortgages….but really we are nearly all living in places that used to look like this…...and that’s even more depressing!

Anyway, its a fabulous shot, love those clouds!
lightsmith

Thanks Mel – you’re right. The land gets smaller, the morgages get bigger, and the countryside slowly dissapears.
DawsonImages

nice rural scene, great cloud action
lightsmith

Thanks Dawsonimages. Australia is fraught with great places. I’m lucky to have been able to snap this one.
RosePhotography

Great panorama. The writing is so sad.

Thanks for your comments – I am grateful for each one.
lightsmith replied

Thanks Rose. So far the house is still there. I’m hoping to get another opportunity to do a full quality panorama before it vanishes.
VinA

excellent panorama shot!
lightsmith replied

Thanks Martina :)

wow~!! love this shot ~ colors, light and the way the cloud above the house is like “tipping its hat” :)
lightsmith replied

thanks Linda. I admit I did wait on that cloud to get there. Fortunately it was moving at a reasonable rate LOL
Marilyn Harris

Beautiful capture. Great colour. What a shame that it can’t remain the same – Such character in these old places!
lightsmith replied

Alas, so much heritage is lost. This one will live in my images at least – and probably quite a few others. One day I am sure there’ll be no trace of it, just a load of modern houses. Nice looking ones, but comparitively soul-less. Thanks for your comment blossom.
