On the spur of the moment, I decided to head out to Picton today for a yarn show and I brought along my camera to visit some abandoned barracks.

The Old Barracks

The barracks aren’t completely abandoned as some local merchants have set up shop in the area. The goal is to revitalize the area while keeping the heritage of the place. I think its a great idea. Who wouldn’t want to wander the barracks and support local shops at the same time.

Of course, some of the buildings look beyond repair with roofs caving in and mother nature taking over as she usually does.

And what would I photograph if all the buildings looked all spruced up?
