Countryside Buildings - A monochrome exercise

in #photography7 years ago

This past week we spent the weekend in Swellendam, a small town 200 km's from Cape Town where my good lady @fempower took part in the Marlof Mountain Challenge.... grueling 25km technical trail with over 1800 metres climbing.

So while she was slaving away yours truly had decent breakfast and went looking for old buildings and bridges

So here follows a collection of those I found on the outskirts of the town.... some derelict, some occupied... and of course ...a church

Did you not have access to the church? Would have loved to see inside. Nice pictures though.

Unfortunately not... was a late afternoon on Sunday.. also no service surprisingly.

Thanks Themagus, any chance we will see colour pics of the same? I would be so interested to compare. Have resteemed your post.

Great photos, I love number 2 and 3, but they are all very nice.

Thank you ... after the devastation at Knysna it was really pleasant to drive around the lush countryside at Swellendam.

It's funny how old buildings are like a photographer's paradise.

Yeah....if I recall you did some good stuff recently in an old abandoned spot.
