a building in which i once worked in another life....and the waterfront at Double Bay

i had to grab these shots of Queen st, Woollahra as i drove past and there is light 

right in the centre of the lens . 

It was not mid day so not sure why the artefact of light.

i took the colour out of one and softened it to try and  mitigate

 the light blob...... but i am not clever 

enough to disguise such flaws

There continues to be no parking in Queen St. 

some things dont change even 38 years later.

i love this building as it was years ago without so much outside decoration 

and without the cafe.

 its plain facade was very beautiful  and i couldnt get a shot of the front of the building today.

 the price paid in around 1972 was, as i recall it......$120,000 for the house and back stables and side shop.

dont know what it is worth now.......but that was the days of terrace houses being worth

$26,000

. how times have changed :-)
