Recent trip. First is Bradford-on-Avon; a lovely old stone town (pop about 10,000) that seems to have been there forever. This image is a tea room, a stone's throw from the river (Avon). It was actually a very nice day, weather wise, but the mood in my mind conjured up something else - hence the tampering. Would have looked too much like a post card otherwise. Second is Robin Hood's Bay; a charming village with winding little streets and plenty of smuggling connections; even Dracula! We stayed in the top right room looking out over the sea with fish and chips (what else), wine/beer (what else) for dinner. Heaven!

This building was the administration building for the Municipal Tramways Trust, I did a 5 year apprenticeship there back in the 60s. It's now the administration building for the Adelaide Botanic Gardens.
I was recently invited to join their photography group which I did a few weeks ago. We have our meetings in this building.
It's been 56 years since I was last in this building, I spent most of the last year of my apprenticeship on the top floor in the drawing office designing the next series of buses.
It was built in 1909 and has had some restoration but I think it's a great looking old building.
