Mary MacADNski: This is in Rural PEI right on the waterfront of Northumberland Strait. It is in the yard of an elderly man who I sometimes visit with an elderly friend of mine. Cool, eh?
Quite a minimalist building, Mary, and the "weathered" look on the outside surface of those large blocks is very interesting.
Another interesting self-portrait, too.
Mary MacADNski: Thought the viewpoint of the whole bldg. would be good after the previous closeup. I really love this bldg. and would love to have it in my yard.
This shot gives more scale to the building, Mary. I'm not sure I've ever seen the effects of the wind on a building like this. It makes you wonder just how strong that wind has got to be!
Mary MacADNski: Along the waterfront in Sydney, AU there is a walkway that goes around to Bondi Beach. The sandstone cliffs (not tall ones) like just like this. They are really, really eroded and simply beautiful.
I love the shadow of you in the corner. I also like the lines created by the roof and the house behind the brick building. Have you tried cropping out the rest and just focusing on those? (Upper left corner).
Mary MacADNski: No. I haven't really played with this. I previously had posted a close-up of just the weathered sandstone and had promised to show the whole bldg.
Must be quite persistant winds over there. And only from the one side where the sea should be (blowing sand against the building). It seems to be re-roofed and re-mortarered before.
The patterns on the nearest large weathered block looks like the chorus line of the Moulin Rouge
Lots of potential angles and stuff that can be xplored with the camera.
Mary MacADNski: I don't get here very often but may ask my elderly friend if he wants to visit his friend again. This was taken in the spring so they are probably ready for a visit.
Beatiful carving in the wall, but if I measure from your shadow seize, it's not a big building. Do all the houses have these wearings?
Great picture though.
Mary MacADNski: This is a tiny little garden shed and it is right on the ocean. That's why it is so worn. Most stone buildings (churches and such) don't wear like this because they are in cities. This is right on the ocean against the wind and salt spray.
