Postmodern

A Victorian-era postbox - dated 1870.

 

Playfair Street, 'The Rocks' - Sydney.

 

This cast iron, red painted, 'pillar box' was made by Triggs & Marr in 1870. It features a letter slot on two sides and a finial of a stylised Waratah (native flower) with embossed Acanthus leaves on top of the box.

 

Photographed in light rain on Playfair Street near the corner of Mill Lane, in Sydney.

 

On one of my night-time photography treks around the city and the harbour. On this occasion I had parked the car at Lavender Bay (on the northern side of the harbour) and walked across the harbour bridge, to photograph 'The Rocks' at night.

 

My Canon EOS 5D Mk IV with the Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM lens.
