Love sepia photos! I like how you added some history bites and made this very interesting :) Sort of a glimpse back into time from the present.
Happy WW!
Nice sepia shot.
Great post and sepia is just perfect for this shot!
Not a sepia lover but this is great!
I love photographs of old buildings. Sepia brings out the best in the architecture.
Great shot! The sepia makes it look like an older photo and really brings attention to this beautiful building.
Happy WW~
Great sepia shot! Love this particular tone, Mojo! Really appreciate your participation in Sepia Scenes and of course Ruby Tuesday! :)
Not many buildings survive with the old Southern charm and grace - and verandas! The stone work is nice if we don't look at the modern things, we can be transported back in time in sepia...
That is a nice looking building perfect for sepia. I love taking pictures of old school buildings.
Nice capture of the uni, I like how the traffic lights are so high up and hanging.
Some photos are perfect in sepia, and this building is perfect.
Your photo is very nice, but I really enjoyed learning about the building in the picture. Thanks for the history lesson!
