Wow I like this picture with the open window and white curtain may have helped as a reflector, I like the table with the white scarf it made what looks like fruit on the table show up more, I think a perfect picture.

hey Roger, just where to take and hold a light reading so that the sky outside is a little less bright and the inside of the room doesn't turn into sammy davis at midnight, I am not sure but this is a pleasing composition nevertheless, good work again. cheers, david.
dear Mr skinner,I have asked you on previous posts about the history of the place tittled Elizabeth Farm,and I am so eager to what is this historical place that looks the son of today,so I searched for it myself and here what I get,and all the surprise of mine has gone,thank you with my regards, Saad. Parramatta city within the Sydney metropolitan area, New South Wales, Australia. It lies along the 15-mile- (24-kilometer-) long Parramatta River (which enters Port Jackson harbour). The second European settlement in Australia, it was founded in 1788 by Governor Arthur Phillip as a western outlying farm colony of Sydney. Initially called Rose Hill, it was renamed Parramatta, an Aboriginal word meaning “head of waters,” the year after it was proclaimed a town in 1790. In its early years it was larger and of greater importance than Sydney. Incorporated as a municipality in 1861, it became a city in 1938 and was expanded in 1948, 1959, and 1972 by the inclusion of surrounding centers. It serves a region with plant nurseries and mixed vegetable farms and is industrialized to include motor-vehicle assembly, flour milling, and textile, paint, tile, tire, and asbestos manufacture. Parramatta has many historic buildings, including Elizabeth Farm House (1793; the nation's oldest home still standing), Experiment Farm Cottage (1798), and the Kings School (1832). Pop. (1981) 130,943; (1994 est.) 137,450. Britannica,2006.
