our house

Our house is about 100 years old. We have it for six months. Dunedin has lots of old houses because there was a gold rush in the late 1800s, the town boomed then but didn't grow very much in the twentieth century. The front of the house faces north, which means it gets the midday sun, this being the southern hemisphere. The kitchen, eating area, and a small family room are on the back of the house, and they face south, away from the sun and towards the ocean. Dunedin is really hilly, and we are near the top of the hills that ring the city. The second photo is taken from our back deck, looking east, and you can see both the harbor (in the middle) and the ocean (on the upper right). The next photo is of the ocean, looking south and a little east. The next two look south west, and Dave can see sheep on those hills with his binoculars. The last one looks south into the neighborhood below us in the fog. The ocean is in the upper left in the photo.
