Post-op ward at New Life Children's Home - a place where 20 children were brought after various surgeries to recover. Broken arms, legs, casts, external fixators, amputations. Children with incredible stories- very brave children.

Updated image with different designs of post box from around the world.
This updated image includes the addition of a Canadian Community Mail Box (3rd from left). The real things have a number of small aluminium doors on the front for lots of people's mail to be delivered to. I have been told that there can be 1 to 3 of these grouped together in one place. Presumably, it depends on how many houses it serves.
So, from left to right, we have a British post box, an American post box, a Canadian Communtiy post box, a Standard Canadian post box, an older style of Canadian post box, and an Australian post box.
The yellow half of the Australian post box is for Express mail and the red half is for Normal mail.
Minifig is shown for scale purposes only.

A post box on the side of the 'Rabbit Run' road from Telford to Wombourne in Shropshire (and Staffordshire respectively) UK. Locals will know it, others probably have their own 'Rabbit Runs'........anyway, I digress. I nearly got run over twice by passing cars when trying to get the right angle for the shot from a precarious footing on the roadside verge.

Grand Concourse, Concourse Village, Bronx, New York City, New York, United States
The Bronx Post Office, built in 1935-37, was designed by the architect Thomas Harlan Ellett in a style< which combined modified classical ornament with the elegant simplicity of modem architecture, A description in Architectural Forum for June 1938 states: "A distinct modem influence and the continuing tradition of "government classic' are the two conflicting tendencies which have resulted in the first signs of vitality in American post office design, and the new Bronx Post Office is an excellent example of best recent work ... the building subtly suggests a Georgian precedent without the use of traditional detail Plans for a much needed Bronx Post Office were announced in 1934; the building was to be erected at the Grand Concourse site which the Federal Government had purchased twenty-five years earlier.
Construction began in 1935 under the direction of the Office of the Supervising Architect of the United States Treasury Department, Louis A..Simon, and of the Supervising Engineer, Neal A. Melick. The cornerstone was laid on June 13, 1936, with Postmaster General James A. Farley and New York City Postmaster Albert Goldman officiating. Farley made the occasion an opportunity to assail the critics of the New Deal. The same officials were present at the opening of the new building on May 15, 1937, when it was announced that the building would be known as the Bronx Central Annex and would serve as the Bronx headquarters of the New York Post Office.
The Post Office occupies an entire block. Its smooth gray brick walls rise above a granite terrace which varies in height along the side elevations to conform to the slope of the street. Broad, shallow steps lead up to the three entrances facing the Grand Concourse. The terrace is enclosed by a classically-inspired balustrade, flanked at the entrance steps by blocks decorated with highly stylized swags and rosettes and carrying flagpoles. The ornate foliate bronze flagpole bases have a rather baroque character.
The most prominent features of the building are the graceful window openings set within marble arches which contrast handsomely with the smooth gray brick walls. Radial brick arches, above impost block level, enframe the marble arches of the window openings. The three openings which contain the bronze entrances are set within deep reveals. The facades are crowned by a simple continuous stone bandcourse set with stylized rosettes and containing the inscription "Bronx - United States Post Office - New York."
Two sculptures, larger than life-size, affixed to the front facade add further interest to the building. The designs were chosen from over 400 models submitted in a national competition held in 1936. "The Letter," designed by Henry Kreis, portrays a mother and her child receiving a message from an absent member of the family, "Noah," by Charles Rudy, depicts the Patriarch, with a deer in one arm, straddling the Ark, and receiving the dove's message that the flood was subsiding. Also of considerable artistic and historical interest are thirteen murals in the main lobby depicting the occupations of American workers, painted by Ben Shahn and his wife, Bernards Bryson, in August 1939.
The elegant simplicity of the building with its finely exacted details make it one of the best examples of government architecture in this style* It is notable not only for its architecture but also for its sculpture and paintings. It met a long-felt need in The Bronx when built, and continues to serve that function today.

Post Mortem CDV by D. McLeod, Sterling, Illinois. The lady's name is scrawled on the back, but I cannot read it.
David McLeod was listed as a photographer in Sterling, Whiteside County, Illinois, in the 1880 census. He was 35 years old, born in Canada. His parents were born in Scotland. He was listed as married, but there is no family listed.

The ex-car order room with the end of line for the conveyor that used to serve the left-side cashiers. You can see that it turned into a storage room for junk and broken shopping carts.
I've been MIA once again. My sweet little Em finally had her long awaited surgery. Hopefully her heart is as good as it can be now. She will always be a cardiac patient, but I pray that she will not have to undergo any more open heart surgeries from now on! Even so, we are so thankful that we are in a place with a world class surgeon who knows exactly how to deal with issues like hers. So very thankful.
Oppède-le-Vieux, Vaucluse (France).
CASTELLANO
Oppède es una población y comuna francesa, en la región de Provenza-Alpes-Costa Azul, departamento de Vaucluse, en el distrito de Apt y cantón de Bonnieux.
Es, de hecho, dos pueblos: Oppède-le-Vieux ("el viejo" en francés), construido frente al Petit Luberon y que data del siglo 12, y Oppède-les-Poulivets ("buena vista" en provenzal), hoy conocido como "Le Village", en el valle.
El antiguo pueblo, construido sobre una colina rocosa, tiene calles estrechas. En invierno, el Petit Luberon comienza a proyectar su sombra temprano en la tarde. Más allá de las murallas medievales las casas quedan oscuras, húmedas y difíciles de mantener.
En el siglo 19, los habitantes ya se habían cansado de esta forma de vida y empezaron a desplazarse hacia abajo en el valle, desmantelando el techo de sus casas para dejar de pagar impuestos sobre la propiedad.
A principios del siglo 20, Oppède-le-Vieux era un pueblo fantasma y la nueva comunidad se estableció oficialmente en el valle, con grandes calles, acogedoras casas, y los campos más próximos a los agricultores.
Después del armisticio de junio de 1940, el arquitecto Bernard Zehrfuss fundó una comunidad de artistas en el casco antiguo, un proyecto que atrajo al escultor francés François Stahly y a la escritora y artista Consuelo de Saint Exupéry. La comunidad fue de corta duración. Fue la base de relato novelado de Saint-Exupéry, publicado en 1946, llamado "Reino de las Rocas".

ENGLISH
Oppède (Occitan: Opèda) is a commune in the Vaucluse department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in southeastern France.
It is in fact two villages: Oppède-le-Vieux ("the old" in French), built against the Petit Luberon and dating back to the 12th century, and Oppède-les-Poulivets ("nice view" in Provençal), today known as "le village", down in the valley.
The old village, build on a rocky hill, has narrow streets. In winter, the Petit Luberon starts casting its shadow early in the afternoon. Houses beyond the medieval ramparts are dark, humid and tricky to maintain.
In the 19th century, the inhabitants had enough and started to move down in the valley, dismantling the roof of their houses to stop paying property taxes.
By the beginning of the 20th century, Oppède-le-Vieux was a ghost village and a new community was officially established in the valley, with larger streets, cosier houses and farmers closer to their fields.
Following the armistice of June 1940, architect Bernard Zehrfuss founded a commune of artists in the old town, a project that attracted French sculptor François Stahly and the writer and artist Consuelo de Saint Exupéry. The commune proved short-lived. It was the basis for Saint Exupéry's fictionalized account, published in 1946, called "Kingdom of the Rocks".

La reflexión: www.santimb.com
Sending things by post makes me happy. It has been that way for decades, and I imagine it always will. I’ve had good news to share, these past few weeks, and while I’ve done some texting and a bit of emailing, with most of my friends, I’ve shared that news via post. I’ve enjoyed writing down my joys onto a card and sending it across the city, the country, the ocean; I’ve enjoyed imagining people reading that letter and sharing in my joy, as well.
Old Mill Street Manchester
Apparently...
" "Now the major route to and from the city centre, Old Mill Street has been designed to keep traffic speeds down, increase pedestrian safety and create a potential ‘marketplace’ for New Islington where new shops and businesses can take advantage of passing trade.
Old Mill Street’s new look includes a central spine of striking lamp posts, designed to represent bent girders, tree-lined walkways and a 'bridge' made from reclaimed railway sleepers"".
So it says in the Vision of New Islington Manchester blurb....I think they might have got it a bit wrong..maybe it will be better when it is all finished!!
