This is a well-known, much photographed abandoned cottage. I couldn’t resist drawing it. If only these walls could talk…

I found this abandoned farmhouse with its old bathtub serving as a water trough for cattle. Nothing like a bit of recycling.

This character villa had a hilltop view from Blueskin Road and must have been prime rural real estate at one time. The corrugated iron was a riot of rusting colours and the painted weather boards were flaking and giving in to the elements. Old New Zealand was before me and so, I added the flag to the house. I think it deserved it.

This woolshed was well hidden in a bushy dell but the colours of the boards and the architecture of the building caught my eye. The land around it has recently been cleared as part of the Clutha Gold trail upgrade. Soon it won't be such a secret spot anymore and more people will be able to take the time to stop and admire this lovely old building.

I can’t exactly remember where this cottage is situated but it is somewhere on the road to Dunedin. I kept thinking about how small a living space used to be, intent to provide a warm haven in winter and a cool refuge in summer.

Located on the way to Takaka, I think this grand old villa could tell some stories, but it has been left to slowly fade away. Lace curtains still billow in the windows and deer antlers still hold pride of place on the front porch.

Built to attend to mighty sized mobs this woolshed is an impressive structure.

I can’t exactly remember where I came across this old shed but it was somewhere near Seddonville. I liked it and had to turn it into a composition. Some artistic licence was employed for this one.

The old cattle yards used to be right in the centre of the city near Hagley Park. They are long gone but I remember them well.

A typical kiwi homestead near Seddonville. The rabbit was my own addition!
