There are some lovely old homes in Bunbury in what is known as the "tree street" area. So I decided to make a mosaic of some lovely doors and windows and entrances. They have such beautiful styling, detailing and warm welcoming feel.
People probably wondered what I was doing driving around stopping outside of houses and taking photos!
It is a lovely area - not one street, but a collection of streets. There are lots of old style houses - some grand, and others more simply styled, but many beautifully restored. I really like the detail in some of the entrances - with the gates, the arbours, erns, and planters. And see that bay window draped with the lace curtain? beautiful. And for a simple cottage homely feel, I really like the one in the middle of the top row - a terrace house.
Below is the entrance door of the Bunbury Regional Art Galleries. It is a beautiful building - and the former Sisters of Mercy Convent and Chapel built in 1897 in Federal Free Medieval style, a blend of Gothic and Southern European architectural characteristics.
The building is pink and I really like the decorative plasterwork you can see here above the arch.
Doors within a door - I can see 4 in the picture (& also my reflection)
I love this building, and I often photograph it from different angles - here are some of its beautiful arches.
And another mosaic of Bunbury architecture - some old and some very new!
Thank you for stopping by. Have a wonderful week.

Jill these images are so full of inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI love them all.
So very beautiful
Love the arches of the Art Gallery, beautiful doorway.
ReplyDeleteYou got some gorgeous shots!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images, Jill! You did great with your project. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteDoors always intrigue me, too. My favorite is the same as yours. Do you think of what you might find beyond the doors? That last building...pink with all the arches. I suppose you could make it a world of photography in and of itself.
ReplyDeleteI agree doors and windows make lovely models to photography and yours are beautiful. Enjoy the week:)
ReplyDeleteLovely mosaics Jill, it is such a fun way of being able to share loads of photos without overpowering ones posts with too many photos.
ReplyDeleteA lovely mosaic!

Love these images. I especially like interesting architecture in homes, since so few have any now.
ReplyDeleteLovely images. I would love for you to visit me at My Dream Canvas :-) You have a lovely blog.
ReplyDeleteThose are gorgeous Jill! That first mosaic .. I'd hang on my wall! I take pictures of peoples' yards all the time, so far I've never been arrested ;>)! (And my pictures never turn out as well as yours -- if anyone complains, just offer to e-mail them a beautiful picture of their front door... !) Thanks for sharing your talent!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful Jill, love that colour of those buildings! Happy Easter season~
ReplyDeleteI loved your choices for the doors and beautiful porches. I noticed the choice of colours coincide with those of some of you would find on the Caribbean Islands. I loved the architecture too. V
