An interesting house. I've noticed before in some of your images that some of these houses are tucked into very small spaces... as it looks this is. Or maybe this is just the backside of a larger house. You keep me guessing Matt! Half the fun!

@Bill: Thanks very much Bill. I always look forward to your insights. I believe many older homes like this were on larger areas of land. As suburbs expanded councils allowed smaller blocks of land and people sell off portions of their property.

Is this the same house but from the back, Matt? The barb wired fence are meant to keep out trespassers? Love the tone (as always) and lighting.

@EstherK: Hi Esther. Yes it is the back of the house. Thanks for your kind comments.

Just great!
Glebe-house ,has a priest lived here before?
I think this is a charming old house with several angles and corners. I also like the shadows and the sunstrems at the wall.

@Nilla: Thanks Nilla. This house is very close to an old Church. So, I guess you are right !

I am envious of that camera! I know it's not the camera, but the operator, but still ;)
Beautiful as always Matt!
