Coal and Physiotherapist.

Posted by Grahame (Mt Maunganui, New Zealand) on 6 December 2008 in Architecture and Portfolio.

This is an old shot of mine from a couple of years ago.
This old building has seen it all from "Coal and Produce" through to a Physiotherapist.
The add for Tiger Tea on the side was typical for New Zealand in the 1960's, interesting to see it surviving 40 years later.

Hi folks,
Hope you enjoy the Dreams.
All feedback is enjoyed.
Don't be scared if you think the image is a nightmare, I still want to hear your thoughts about it.
I've just redesigned my website so if your interested in seeing the images I've been taking wander on over for a nosey.

Enjoy,
Grahame.

Hello Graham & thanks for your comment - I like this HDR image, do you know Marcah's work on Aminus3 ? You should enjoy it as I do... Yours brings me back in an unknown city I'd like to visit ! Where is it ?... My (last) word ? It's good ;-) See ya*

@k@: Hi k@,
Yes I know Marcha's work.
Some of the nicest and most imaginative on am3 in my opinion.
It was through one of your comments there I found your gallery !!
The city is Dunedin, South Island , New Zealand.
New Zealand is a "recent" country both in terms of White and the indigenous Maori population.
Our towns and cities contain many examples of this older building style clashing with the new and ugly.
We have nothing with the style and grace of old Istanbul or Europe.
Just out of interest this was just a single photo, not HDR.
Cheers.

@Marcah: Hi Marcah,
Yes I love the old as well.
It was you images of the shops that reminded me this was buried in the database.
Thanks, it was a fun play.

Remarkable to capture a long part of history. It's worth to keep it live or in memory.
Weel seen and captured. Bye.

@Alphons: Hi Alphons,
History is worth remembering.
Repeating much of it would be foolish.
Enjoy.
