Isn't it funny that you can be taking a country trip on one side of the world, and someone is taking something remarkably similar on the other side, posting about it too. When Annie's post corresponded so closely to mine, it was time to enjoy these together I thought. Her wonderful blog is at In My Dreams http://inmidreamz.blogspot.com/. It takes me a while to get around to these things, so you will have to scroll back to Annie's post of Friday April 17th. to enjoy the rest of her great pictures and interesting trip. So without delay...!

Annie's country scenery from Horritos U.S.A. Nice and green...Let's step a long way back, look for the little homestead in the background, transfer this scene of quiet country life to drought-stricken Willmington South Australia, with dusty ute for good measure in the foreground...

Next...add a simple white building against the bluest of skies. Anne chose a church...

Mine? A shop. I don't think there will be hoardes of children crossing that road anytime soom.
Next...the ghost town cottages in disrepair...

Anne's...

Mine...Aussie-style...take notice of the glass window centre right, you'll see it again in a minute...and the garage? All part of the business that follows...

There's the window, in the days when Roemer & Flugge had a thriving Motor Engineering business...long,long ago.

When Annie looked over a fence in Horritos, what did she see?Taking a peek here, I was not disappointed either...
Later, I'll post some photos from Melrose,the next town on. One of the oldest in the State. Thank you Annie. I love these towns.
