My favorite photos are the ones with deep blue skies and plenty of sunshine. Take this one for example. Now, If I could only travel around the country in a tow truck to move all the cars in my way. That would make me happy. LOL

TITLE: The Family
MEDIUM: Plaster (relief)
STATUS: The Middleport post office is still an active, operating facility, and the relief can be viewed by interested members of the public. It resides in the lobby on the wall above the postmaster’s door.
YEAR: 1938

Doing this trip, I started to record video a bunch more than I usually do. The results were that I ran out of space on the phone I was using.

Luckily, Middleport has a nice little library with WIFI. I was able to off load all the photos and videos I had been taken.

The downside is that I didn’t realize until other stop, that I needed to wipe the entire photo to clear up the space.

At any rate I my stay in Middleport was longer than I anticipated and also forced me to visit the local library.

Another beautiful day for photographing post offices. This was another stop during my October 2022 road trip.

Great to see a wood carving, most as you know are murals and painted on canvas. This one is wood and on the larger size with a lot of detail.
