In August of this year we headed to Mt. Carroll Illinois for a family party. Early in the year I had driven out to the western side of Illinois to get several old post offices. This time around I stopped in Byron to get a picture of their post office.

It also happened to be the same weekend as their summer festival. I kept thinking to myself it’s going to be a difficult photo shoot, but alas, I got it.

Thanks,

I was really annoyed trying to photograph of this one. One reason was that people kept parking in my way. Don’t they know I’m on a mission to get good clear pictures. I’m just kidding I hope I don’t sound mean. My humor is sometimes confused with anger or rudeness and people get the wrong idea. I really wanted an un-obstructed photograph. I finally settled for the one’s you see here.

Thanks,

Bangor is a post office we stopped at during our Blueberry festival weekend. Unfortunately, it was after business hours when I visited. Notice the picture of the dedication plaque through the front window.

It was amusing trying to get my self-portrait in front of the building. There were several people across the street talking by a restaurant or some small business. Once I started setting up the tripod in the middle of the street I kind of felt like I was getting strange looks. Then again, maybe it was just my imagination.

Thanks,
