Pirlangimpi colour

I thought I'd share some images of my favourite building here at Pirlangimpi. I have never been around at a time when somebody was there so that I could ask what it is used for, but we have guessed that it might be a Council storage building.

UPDATE - we have learned that this is the old church; and that one of our team was married here. It is now used as a community gym and a Council storage area.

I love the soft colour, the peeling paint, the weathering and bits of rust and the overall gentle worn look of it. In fact it reminds me of some of Rosalie Gascoigne's works. Like White Garden...

Enjoy!

  9. ah yes, can't beat an old piece of corrugated iron with peeling paint for a good photo - unless it's a strange window looking like it was originally painted on
