Who says corrugated iron can't be beautiful?!

I took a picture of this building 12 years ago and couldn't resist it again.

Looks beautiful to me, Pete. Nice angles too. Well spotted. Do you have the earlier one for comparison?

That is a fine picture. Interesting building, I like the understated tones, gives it an olde world feel.

Thanks, Rob. Thanks, Dave. I must have it somewhere. Can't recall whether it was film or digital though - film I think.

Found it, @Rob MacKillop - I only scanned the print though (Nov. 2005). It looks like they have switched from using bottled gas!

Indeed, and thrown away their television. You've recorded a piece of history there.

They've got cable now!

I really do not know what to say, but it gets to me in a good way.

Thanks, Ivar. It was quite compelling. Both times!
