Nice posting, lovely pictures!
you know how much i love sepia... and the whole idea of dining with ghosts intrigues me !!!!!!
Love the haiku :)
so nice that this was refurbished. it's a lovely building.
It's good to know even the houses have histories behind. My town used to have many factories that are nowadays in completely different use.
Nice photos, Gemma.
What a wonderful old building, ghosts of our past, brought back to life and faded sepia hues push the allure more into our past lives of faded glory. The architecture in your part of the world intrigues me, I'll have to delve into it more...keep shootin' the shots, love it!
All is well in the Nor'lunds, as we await yet another storm a brewin', rain now, but ice and snow on the way..I peck away, dreamin' of the sunny shores of Assie'lund...ha...the Dreamer
Nice post. I really like the festive dolphins.
Nice post.I really like the sepia shots.

a great photo.

Gemma: Thanks for sharing these views of your world.
It looks good in the sepia tones. Dining with ghosts - what an interesting way to look at it.

'Dining with ghosts' - I love how your mind works. Such insight to the things you see.
Lovely haiku.
Sepia works well with the old building.
Wonderful to see the old buildings recycled and made new.
I really love buildings with a history and a sense of place.
Great sepia photo, Gemma! It looks real because of the traditional subject! Happy Holidays in Australia! :)
Very nicely sepia shot! It does really look from 1930 era with that old Bank name;)
A place well preserved and fitting well in sepia :)
Lovely sepia scene, what kind of food at the bank, "greens"?
