Another one of those “it’s getting later in the afternoon, and the sun is setting behind the building” kind of moments. I should really read up on the best way to photograph in this situation? Unless someone else has any ideas how to get the best picture with a setting sun?

I really like this mural. The way it was done, the colors, the subject everything about this one speaks to Wauseon. I also like that the artist put in the name of the city on the train station depot.

What sticks out for you when you view the mural? Please comment below.

Thanks,

David W. Gates Jr.

This is the Millbury Ohio post office. Look how it is just sitting among residential homes. How quaint is that?

Lima Ohio Post Office

ADDRESS: 350 W. Hight St., Lima, Ohio 45801

This is one big post office. I also met a very nice USPS employee who shared a few things with me. Although the artwork here was not commissioned by the Treasury department it was nice to see some artwork. When I asked the employee about it he didn’t really know that much about it. So here you go folks, I hope you enjoy it.

It was difficult to get the entire building in one photograph. There were also a lot of people and cars around the building that photographing it was a challenge.

Thanks,
