A New Farm Doorway

A quick post of a New Farm doorway. The old Queenslander from the post below. The old weatherboard houses are very cool in the summer, as they are built up on stilts to let the air flow under them. Just a little cool in the winter, but fortunately winter doesn't last long here in the sub tropics.

Great to see old Aussie homes in tropical Queensland. We don't see much of that kind here as they are built to your weather.

I found your blog through Ma'am Diane's blog.

And I like the description of your blog. :)

Hi Annie, what a lovely old house and a great photo of it. Thanks for stopping by my blog by the way, and yes we did bring water with us, two bottles each, but we drank them within the first hour :( And then we bought several along the way. We never carry bags with us when we look round the city either. I don't even have a purse and anything I do take fits in my pockets. Now back to looking at all your other lovely photographs.

I wish winter would not last long here either! A beautiful structure. Smart to build them up that way!
LOVE the lines in this picture.

Also since I only get to visit this wonderful blog of yours about once a week or so - LOVE the New Farm picture from the previous post, esp. the flowers/vines/blocking the sign.

Next - Cannot believe you reference Blog Fest in your side bar (or whatever it's called)!. Here is the eerie thing...you were SO close - an hour and fifteen minutes away --when you were in Richmond. So close, although timing was still slightly off. Still.

Let's make a deal that you will be here for the 2010 Blog Fest. You would have absolutely loved it, I just know.

Great pictures, I can't say it enough. Love them and your incredible stories.
