Sooke Region Museum


This is the museum that houses the old time kitchen I shared in last week's Sepia Scenes. Fitting, isn't it? I had to leave the windows in color though, they had the most spectacular reflections, it would have been criminal not to share them with you all.

  1. I like the museum itself and that you left the window reflections in color, but I still really liked that that kitchen...there was just such a mood with it. almost like it stirred a distant memory.

  5. This is a serious log style wood frame museum. I just checked on its kitchen, and this looks so much like a frontier home, something that hasn't changed in over a century. the sepia seems to age this building so correctly...a period piece extraordinaire!

  6. Very cool, the greenish blue windows with the old-fashioned look. I think aliens have invaded the old log museum, and we should play creepy music as we view. Or maybe it's two tv screens with views of the trees? A fun photo.

  8. Very cool Robin!
    The reflections would have gotten lost in the sepia.
    I loved the old kitchen but the house itself doesn't fit my imagination of what I thought it should look like. :)

  10. Nice touch leaving the "eyes" green. The shake roof almost looks like thatch or sod at this resolution, but embiggened I can see it's just where pine(?) needles have fallen on it.

    Cool shot, definitely needs to be viewed full size!

  21. Great shot, I love how the lace looks in the bottom windows. Those reflections are beautiful. Although, the color windows make the house look a little horror house ish with bright green eyes! Maybe that's just me?

  25. Sepia is perfect for this log-cabin style museum. I like how you kept the windows in color. Cool reflections.

    You have a really nice kitchen. It looks brand new ~

  26. Thanks Patti, we redid it completely three years ago - it was utterly ghastly before.
