from the outside to better illustrate the new 'rimber' look.




The removal of the 'temporay' shelves (3 years later) from the lounge/dining room meant we could move all sorts of things around to open up the rooms. Bailey kindly once again offered to provide a sense of scale.



This of course meant also that there was more room for some serious playing by the boys!


Utilising an older 500 mm mirror film lens, which effectively makes the snowy mountains so close, as it is equivalent to a 1000 mm mirror digital lens (or medium telescope).

Image taken with slight telephoto 100mm lens for comparison (used for most of the Snowy pics I have taken)
