That scene is very reminiscent of many of the smaller highveld towns around Jo'burg. The shabby paintwork, the convoluted electrical wiring & periodic alterations to the building itself. It probably hasn't been re-painted since 1943! The lighting actually emphasises the dinginess of the whole scene. Another fine shot of yester-year.

This morning my wife and I took a tour of a few very small back water towns in our area. Was looking for history in any form. Was equipped with both the K-5 and K20. I collected a passel of shots, but they are all of this building. May post another piece or two later. I found parking in the area very restrictive. Consequently, most were shot with the K20/DA 16~45. Got a few with K-5/DA*50~135. Went out early hoping for a bit of sweet light, but all I encountered were deep shadows in those areas I wanted.. May back track some day and try a couple scenes again.

Comments?
