Street Photography in Kempton, Tasmania

What a laugh. Kempton is a small town about one hour north of where I live in a very rural area. There is one main road that goes through the town and it is quite long.

We had to meet at a tourist distillery that is in the town. It is a beautiful old sandstone building with very comfy leather lounge chairs in a beautiful room with whisky barrels and wood.

Six of us attended. I might add the temperature when I arrived at 10 am was 0 degrees C (32 F) and quite misty and foggy. 

Once gathered we went into the distillery, sat in the comfy chairs and ordered coffees. Their heat was lovely.

There was a whisky tasting in the next room that they create. They also sell various types of gin. Lots of different flavours.  I don’t drink much so I wasn’t drawn to it but the bottles were lovely with the amber liquid in it.

We then ventured outdoors where the sun had burned off the fog and the temperature was getting up to about 10 C. 50 F. We were well dressed so it all felt fine. Great weather for long walks and fingerless gloves kept us pretty warm. We needed our fingers to operate our cameras.

I laughed that the organizer called it Street Photography as there was no one in sight on the long road.  We did finally catch up with a couple of dog walkers.

We concentrated on some sheep, ponies and old cottages and then found some miscellaneous things to photograph. I will scatter a few of our photos throughout this post.

We then all drove to a local café up the road and had some lunch.  On the way home I stopped at a lovely bakehouse and picked up a delicious apple/apricot pie.  It was so good I wished I bought two. I didn’t think to take a photo but I should have.
