Kimberley Row

Kimberley Row is just around the corner from City Terrace. Both are

mid-1890s rows of houses built quickly but solidly after almost the

entire city burnt to the ground. Kimberley Row was dressed up very

nicely about twenty years ago but has, at least with one house, fallen

on bad times more recently. The whole neighbourhood has lately fallen

victim to a "development" frenzy with a lot of older houses, and other

buildings, being knocked down to make space for big, high, modern

hotels. Ack.



This was just after sunset, on Kodak ColorPlus 200 film in the Konica

Eye2. I don't often turn my half-frame cameras for a horizontal shot,

but sometimes I have to.
