All that remains of the 19th century Lion Brewery in Silverton. Though it looks like a kiln, a local business manager is checking on exactly what part of the old brewery it is.

Something gives me the impression you guys like a beer? :wink: ... :cheers:

Thanks gerry. The beer was nice and cold at the pub. :wink:

Pizza Oven?

Thanks gstark. Pizza oven? Now there's an idea for the next camping trip to Silverton. :wink:
I wouldn't have known the subject existed if not for walking into the bush chasing the light for shots of another building. The place is full of ruins a little off the beaten track and I would have loved to spend a further week around the town. I'll find an excuse to go back and go missing every afternoon/evening.

:agree:

Thanks jaff. The light in the outback is special.
Maybe a remembrance toast (or 3) is in order during the next visit? After all, we should endeavour to give due respect to our history. :wink:

After editing more shots from Silverton I think I prefer this variation of of the Brewery ruins. Shot with a slightly different composition ten mins later in more subdued light, with the sun filtered by light cloud.
Opinions appreciated!

I like the 3rd shot best.

It could be the oven where they roasted the barley to get malted barley. It could also be the kitchen oven for the workers. :D

I like the last one. Nothing like red dirt to place it in the outback!

It could also be the firebox for some sort of boiler system I guess.

I've been told the 'Pizza oven' :) was a boiler/boiling room for mash. :cheers:
