My travels brought me through Thorp Wisconsin. To be honest I really don’t remember much from this visit. Nice 60’s building.

Thanks for stopping by

Union Grove Wisconsin Post Office

When I visit post offices I try my hardest to get an unobstructed view and photograph of the building. That is always my goal. Today or back in June I should say, I stopped in Union Grove. I was excited since I only saw one truck in front and figured oh cool. If I just got here then maybe this guy has already been here, and I wouldn’t have to wait long to get “the shot”.

Well, see folks that’s not always the case. I waited in the car for a few minutes but the truck never left. Eventually, I started telling myself I need to at least start taking my other photos. Well I did all that and the guy in the truck even observed me taking the photographs, but never moved. frustrated I stood in front of the building and waited for the truck to leave. I was rewarded with an unobstructed view as our un-disclosed stand-off ended once he drove away.

Thank you, I said to my self, quickly took my photograph and was on my way.

I took this photograph back in June. It must have been a beautiful day, notice the abundant sunshine and shorts.

Funny I can see myself in the reflection in the photo. I also remember this was also a busy post office at least the time we visited. I waited around awhile for an unobstructed view of the building.

Thanks,

David W. Gates Jr.
