Looks like you're channelling the English artist Patrick Woodroffe.

I love to be picky but I don't know anything about mail-boxes. Isn't the flag supposed to be down if the box is empty?

chuck, you're right about the flag. I had printed out and rolled up a miniature newspaper but forgot to bring it along for the shot.

Thnx for the reference to Patrick Woodroffe. Didn't know him, but I will have a look at his work now that you mentioned him

[Chuck Clark]

Woodroffe also features hermit crabs in some of his paintings and I see some photos of same in your flickr stream, oddly enough.

Great effect, Fons.


The cold Northern wind brings clear skies and brilliant light.

Thomas, beautiful, like a painting.

Thank you, Anthony.
I waited until late in the blue hour and used a 50/1.2 plus PK-12 extension.

A Hobbit's home? I like it. There is a humorous touch to the postpox.
