Long ago, Kim of Frog Ponds Rock, (who no longer blogs), dreamed up a meme called Sunday Selections. A place where those who were willing could put up photos they wanted to share, new, old, good, bad or indifferent, any photos you please. Nothing rude or vulgar though. And we don't mind at all if other bloggers care to join us. The meme is now continued by Elephant's Child and I join in as do a few others. Andrew is one. Messymimi is another. Drop in to their blogs and have a look. Wisewebwoman has also been joining us more often. **Elephant's Child is taking a break for the month of February** Continuing our road trip, today sees us in Snowtown, a small place 100km north of Adelaide. The welcome sign has an original windmill and the new wind power generators which we saw in a recent post along the hilltops for several miles. a painted water tower the infamous "bodies in barrels" bank which is no longer a bank All Bank signage was removed a long time ago an...
Good solid construction too!
Yep, spiders, snakes, and old bones included! Ha ha ha
ReplyDeleteSharon Qualls; maybe even an old bear skin rug, complete with bear :)
DeleteFunny!!
ReplyDeletefishducky; I thought so too :)
DeleteNot enough windows for my fussy self.
ReplyDeleteElephant's Child; you could drill a few skylights :)
DeleteA Saturday auction up at Coober Pedy! :)
ReplyDeleteLee; I hadn't thought of that :)
DeleteThat is funny :)
ReplyDeleteJimmy; I have another, similar one, but can't find it :)
DeleteLol - Lee's right about the Coober Pedy real estate. Tunnel homes are much cooler. Deep and dark - no need for a window cleaner!
ReplyDeleteCathy; I've heard about the Cobber Pedy homes and seen a few on TV, but I'd love to go there in person one day and see them. I've heard the underground temperature is stable all year round, so no need for airconditioning either.
DeleteHighRiser is posting on architecture too, but it is a hideous blight planned for Perth's great park.
ReplyDeleteI hope that one doesn't succeed.
"Flintstones! they're the Flintsones!
houses built into earth mounds can look terrific and there are plenty of cute photos on Houzz.com and Pinterest.
Whenever I see hurricane devastation on the news I always wonder why they don't rebuild underground to be safe from the next one.
Ann ODyne; I've read Andrew's post and hope that chair lift doesn't happen. It will spoil Kings Park for sure.
DeleteI wonder the same thing about houses in hurricane areas, it would be easier than rebuilding and refurnishing each time.
We have a house built into a hill somewhere on the outskirts of Adelaide, in the hills area, but on the other side from where my daughter lives. It's featured in the paper now and again. Once it was for sale and I hoped to win the lottery and buy it, but that didn't happen.
There was an underground home near to the hubs folks when we were dating......always wanted to see what it looked like inside.
ReplyDeleteonly slightly confused; probably like any other home, but without windows.
