Photo Hunt, Oldfashioned

Posted on January 26, 2008 by archiearchive FCD

What could be more old-fashioned than a pear tree planted in 1830?

This tree is on the grounds of one of the first farms in Perth.

Unless it is the drink the ancient Greeks enjoyed  – Honey Mead.

Of course, I could also include one of my favourite old buildings, The Rose and Crown Hotel in Bunbury.

So I will    :)

    They’re all terrific —now, hand over the drink of the Greek Gods!!! I’m all for an ‘old fashioned’ shot of that for sure. Too early for the USA drinkers, but I’ll pretend it’s late Saturday night here!!!

    My ‘old fashioned’ is posted, hope you can drop by and visit with me too, I love visitors!!!

    Sorry, I emptied the bottle before I photographed it :)

    Cool shots you have this week. I never knew that an old tree could be considered too in this week’s theme. Great idea :)

    Fruit trees have all been hybridised and crossed and interbred so a pear tree which is nearly 180 years old is almost certainly an oldfashioned type of pear. OK, so I stretched a point :) I often do – - -

    I was afraid, for a moment, that your illustrated limerick was the photohunt entry ;)

    All three of the photos are amazing, but I especially enjoy the old hotel. The porches are amazing. I love the architecture!

    Bother! Now I have Eartha Kitt singing “I’m Just An Old Fashioned Girl” stuck in my mind! If I had thought I could have used the limerick for the Photo hunt :)

    The Rose is an impressive hotel and is over 100 years old.

    Oh, and welcome to the archive :)

    These are great choice for our theme. I really that first photo – the gnarled truck is great. Lovely photo.

    Thanks, Ann. I love the texture in an old tree trunk

    The tree is a rare find…should it have been a pine tree, its gone last month! I wonder what date your bottle has lol…the hotel is lovely too!

    The bottle was a 2007 vintage :) Thanks for the kind comments

    That’s a GREAT tree! :)

    Thank you Rebecca. I’m so glad I used that tree. Right next to it is a pomegranate tree which was planted at the same time.

    I came over to see what people had been looking at instead of the *real* PhotoHunter pictures :) Great – all of them!

    Thanks for visiting, A

    You have some great old fashioned photos to chose from. I think I’d have to go for the honey mead!

    I think you will have to join the queue – it seems to be a favourite :)

    Love your photo-hunt pictures. The old tree catches my imagination as does the hotel. I’m not into spirits, so it doesn’t mean much to me. All three catch the theme very nicely.

    Honey Mead is actually a wine – honey wine. Thank you so much for the kind words

    I love the pear tree photo, it’s beautiful. I’ll leave the Honey Mead for the Greek Gods. The hotel looks spacious. It sort of reminds me of New Orleans, USA. Happy Photo Hunting~

    Thanks for visiting, Michelle. I’ll drop in on your site later today :)
