Today I am bringing you photos from 2011 and they were taken on a trip to my mum’s place in the Mallee. It was one of my first real photography trips with a digital SLR camera.
Since I’ve been thinking about mum a lot I decided that today I would show you more photos from up there. I suspect many of you haven’t seen these before. They are quite old.
the run down village station hits home despite having grown up somewhere completely else lol, nice capture
Thank you so much.
Love the inside shots and the lighting in them. Sad the church building was abandoned. Here people buy them up to convert them into houses or other purposes.
Thank you Sharon, you don’t often get to do the indoor shots. I was really disappointed when the Church was moved away. That happens a lot here too, people converting them. Makes it hard to work out which ones you can photograph.
There are some wonderful old photogenic buildings where your mum lives it seems, and you’ve captured them so well – very atmospheric!
There are Sarah, though many are on private land and I don’t if I could get access again. Thank you so much Sarah.
Looking back at old photos always brings back so much. Lovely old captures these are 🙂
It does, thank you so much Hammad.
Sov nice to take a trip into the past. Taking my own memory journeys noe that I have found a bulb for my slide projector!
It can be really nice to do it from time to time. That’s great Geoff, I hope you enjoy your journey back. Thank you.
Powerful photos, you must have been excited to see the potential of digital photography, to realize you could take it seriously and work with it seriously. I’ve just looked up “Mallee” so thanks for introducing me to another region of Australia. Gosh, those railway-track photos… The importance of railway lines, in the colonial history of both our countries…
I had hated photography for a while, but digital just made me love it all over again. I have always loved it. Yes, the trains, though only for goods now, not passengers sadly. Thank you Penny.
These photos seem familiar to me, Leanne, I must have seen them before. Nice work!!
You have been following me for so long that I think you probably have John. Thank you.
Yes, I sure have! Probably the longest follow I have to date, Leanne. I should fly to Australia to meet you and your husband!
I think you and Anne are mine that still blog. Maybe you should John, see hwat you think.
That’s a very long flight!
Yeah, 14 hours from LAX to Melbourne.
Wow! I have difficulty with three and a half hours from Las Vegas to Detroit!
Yeah, it is one downside to living in Australia, too far from everywhere else. Then again if the world goes to hell we are a long way away.
😮😮🤭🤭😂
😀 😀
I love those!
That’s great, thank you.
Great perspective.
Thank you.
these are great and i really love that entrance sign –
Thank you Beth. That sign was for the old drive in. It has fallen down now.
I really like the photo of the church. Not sure if that green is part of the stained glass, but it looks so lovely.
I loved that Church, it is gone now sadly. I think some of it is the glass and some isn’t. Thank you Lois.
Oh, that is a shame. More the better that you have a photo of it.
Absolutely. Glad I have it.
