Description
Shearing Shed Weighstation is my 'nostalgia[' sepia photo,by VIVA Anderson, celebrating Australian rural life, nostalgia, and the complex interior of the woolshed. So attractive in this vintage style.
This image captures for me the life I found so much a challenge, as a ‘girl’
from Queens NYC , via Toronto, UK, Africa. Australia offered a new, very
exciting challenge to adjust again, once and for all, thankfully. We settled
in Australia , in Sydney, for a new corporate challenge as CEO of Xerox,
here. They were exciting times of change in Australia – by the day, she
became more sophisticated, more a part of the whole world, even though
an isolated island/continent, in the Southern hemisphere –
How SO different to all I’d known: a ‘city girl’ at heart.
And this nostalalgic image exudes the Australia that is still the Heart of this Nation,
symbolic of her beginnings, her ‘now’, still!!

Hi VIVA~~Very much like the subject and the fact that you presented it in sepia that really suits it! These are very busy places with lots of action when it comes time to shear the sheep herd. A nostalgia photo for sure! Regards, Will...! F&L
