This post stands forlorn, waiting for its services to be needed to proclaim some message as yet unimagined.
Personally I never liked the look of drilled posts, and examples from the day are some of the worst butcher jobs of the genre. But I wanted to please the customer who requested this. And I wanted to see if one with a careful layout would look good.

I was approached by a film company because they wanted to use my Delica while shooting a short film set in the near future.
They asked me to make it look as 'Post Apocalyptic' as possible. I did my best!
Fliming took place in South London on an abandoned/dereclict housing estate. A massive place with 2000+ apartments all empty. Quite eery!
I took these shots just after filming had finished and the crew had gone home. It made for a nice setting.

The upper of the two old car order/parcel pickup/commande à l'auto conveyor belts at ex-A&P store #386. The store closed in November 2005, but the car order operation was shut down 10 years prior to the store's closing or in 1995...the grocery chains were sadly shuttering them en-masse in the mid-1990s. I wonder if more of them would still be in use today were Steinberg's still around.
Back in the heyday of stores in Ontario & Quebec having a car order service, several of them had two conveyors - with one to send out customers' orders and the other to return empty bins back to the cash registers. This store was rather unique in that both belts were used to transport customers' orders out to the parcel pickup room, which was located in west corner of the store by the truck receiving doors. The reason for this is that the mall entrance was midway down the length of the store's entrance and there were 6 cash registers on either side, each with their own car order conveyor. Therefore, when the cashiers need more empty bins, the direction of 1 of the 2 belts would be reversed to return empties. After the store closed, the conveyors were removed and the old parcel pickup drive-thru doors are all that remains of the car order operation. Today the store is Food Basics store #870.
I think this is going to be my last 0.7 upload for a while...0.6 is easier for me.

Log day 9:
"I can't record much anymore...the infected are everywhere...I keep killing, but they keep coming...At least the gun store I got this at has held up well...I've been here for 2 weeks, but...I feel as if I am about to die a very miserable death very soon... "
If I recall right, there was a sixth panel that I wasn't able to photograph.
Here's the artist's obituary from 2003, courtesy of the Associated Press:
Artist Richard Zoellner, known for his New Deal murals, abstract paintings and prints, died Thursday at his home in Tuscaloosa. He was 94.
His work is included in the permanent collections of some major museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art.
A native of Portsmouth, Ohio, Zoellner graduated from the Cincinnati Art Academy. He studied in New York City and Mexico as a recipient of a Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation scholarship.
From 1933 to 1942 he maintained his own studio in Cincinnati and received a number of public and private commissions as part of the U.S. Treasury Section of Fine Arts, part of President Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal administration.
His commissions included murals for the U.S. Post Offices in Cleveland, Georgetown, Hamilton, Medina, and Portsmouth, Ohio; and Mannington, W. Va. Other commissions included paintings for U.S. Marine hospitals and murals for the Cincinnati Zoo.
His paintings and sculpture-like prints were known for their energy and vibrant application of color and pattern. He served for 33 years on the University of Alabama's art faculty, retiring in 1978.
In 1992, at 84, he exhibited 15 critically acclaimed new works of art inspired by a trip to the Yucatan peninsula and the architecture of its Mayan ruins.
Survivors include his wife, Willita Skelton Goodson Zoellner; his son, David Zoellner; a stepson, artist Nathan Goodson of Tuscaloosa; and grandchildren.

Ever since i can remember, i have been (religiously) going for the Mahashtami anjali.
This is me with my aunt looking pretty happy as we barely managed the anjali - there are batches for doing this and we were on the last one..phew!
Lamp post in the Suburbs. I wanted to retake one of my earlier shots but with the lamp post lights turned on. I'm not sure if I like this one better but I think in general, when one looks at a light, they want to know what it looks like when it's lit up. So here it is.
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.
In April 2020 despite local protest the Post Office was franchised. It was suddenly closed when the staff resigned due to lack of support from the new management.
This notice was taped to the front door!

Gift of Mrs. Marjorie M. Post in 1964.This object was designed by Cartier, Inc.
This Art Deco Indian-style necklace was made in 1928-1929 by Cartier, Inc. and features 24 baroque-cut emerald drops, each surmounted by a smaller emerald bead, mounted in platinum with pave-set diamond links and an elaborate clasp. The rich green emeralds are from Colombia, the source of the finest emeralds. Incorporating Indian influences and gemstones into jewelry was one of Cartier’s great innovations during the Art Deco era. The Art Deco Period (1920-1935) produced dazzling jewelry that was dramatically different from the jewelry of the previous periods, shifting from soft colors and flowing lines of the Art Nouveau era to bold bright colors and straight lines. New geometric cuts for gems complimented the symmetry and streamlined look of Art Deco jewelry, and emeralds, sapphires and rubies became very popular. This magnificent necklace belonged to Marjorie Merriweather Post, who wore it dressed as “Juliette” for the Palm Beach Everglades Ball in 1929. She also purchased an Indian-style emerald brooch that was originally made by Cartier, London in 1923 before it was transformed for Mrs. Post in New York in 1928. She was known to have worn the two pieces together, the brooch attached as a pendant on the necklace. Marjorie Merriweather Post was heiress to the Post cereal fortune and a collector of French and Russian art. The Post Emerald Necklace is one of several major donations she made to the National Gem Collection; others include the Napoleon Diamond Necklace, Marie-Louise Diadem, Blue Heart Diamond, Maximilian Emerald Ring, and Marie Antoinette Earrings (through her daughter Eleanor Barzin). The necklace, donated in 1964, is on exhibit in the Gem Hall at the National Museum of Natural History.
