A lot of the local places around town have this cottage feel, it is the same design as the cottage I live in :o)

Neat. You have an interesting town. It must be historic and very well kept. Nice shot.

Great image Ky and I love the angle you've used! What a lovely place, lots of character:-0) It looks great :-). I've thought about trying to capture the architecture of houses here in NZ but mine all looked so boring and a bit like an ad in a Real Estate Mag lol. Well done you:-)

@Linerberry: Thanks Liners, it is actually a two storied old place, but I wanted to get the signs in. Thanks for your great comments mate, and I would love to see some of the places in NZ, boring or otherwise, I have no idea what "your neck of the woods" might look like. Thanks for stopping by girlfriend!

Nice shot, its often things we see every day that come up so well. The road sign anchors the shot and the shadows of the ironwork complete it nicely.

It is very graphic, quite in close-up, in black and white, in shadows and light : I like it very much !

The tight composition, the combination of the signs and the architecture, and the great black and white all add up to make this a most impressive image. Show us more of your hometown anytime!

Great processing. The signs really grab the attention. The architecture is very interesting. Superb BW work Kylie

nice black and white ... and there is like an anachronism between the "modern" street signs and the "old style" building ...

Baker is my mother's maiden name would you believe and the name I grew up with too although it was'nt my legal name (long story)..ok, now this is going to sound weird but iron lace work always feels kind've spooky to me.
It's beautiful of course, but there's something about it...probably a past life memory or something:D
