Pic of the Day: Old meets new at solar-powered antique shop

Published by

It might have been a bit cloudy in the Victorian country town of Smythesdale when this snap was taken, but the message it delivers is clear: even a purveyor of old stuff, from an old building in regional Australia, gets the value of new energy technology.

We love this winter-time image of the solar powered Smythesdale Antique shop, taken by sometime RE contributor and VRET campaigner Leigh Ewbank. We hope you enjoy it too.
