Old Bottle

[shmelly]

We dug this old bottle up in the back yard. It would be at lest 100 years old, it is totally hand blown, now I know that is not old for some of you but here it's getting pretty old.
Our house is built between the sites of the first two pubs built in Roma around 1880. Anyway I thought I must take a picture of this bottle




then I thought I must pretty it up a bit



then go wild

3 very creative ways to show off one bottle. Well done! I think I like the second one best, mixing something fresh with something very old.

An old bottle and a creative mind at work, to produce three amazing images. All of them excellent in their own way. I think the showpiece has got to be the second one, but, I love them all Michelle. Your creative mind has worked wonders. Lovely work.

Very creative. I really want to know how these effects were created. Thanks.

100 years, thats nearly as old as Australia isn't it Michelle, I'll say sorry now

Very innovative pictures, the first and final ones are good with clever use of light, but the centre picture is stunning.
The addiition of a few flowers and a single green leaf, complimentary shades of lilac, and contrasting yellow glass, subtle rear lighting, shadow and reflections and you've created a little gem. I think this picture is outstanding.

Thankyou everyone for your kind remarks. I had to do something special to show off the old bottle, every time I look at it I can't help but wonder, what was going on when it was in use. I was just reading a bit of history of the area and the pubs I was talking about were actually built in the mid 1860. By 1870 there were no churches in town but 12 public houses. Have you ever watched "Paint your Wagons" I think that was Roma (not sure if it's changed).
