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.
Here is a picture of a Post Office. What troubles did early Post Offices face, and what did they do to protect themselves?
The year is 2035, and the human race has been dominated by an invading army. Those who survive are sent to prison camps to work as slave labour, those who survive join the Resistance Force. With all technology destroyed, they must make do with what little resources they find, combining components from different vehicles is common place.
A former truck has an extended platform on the rear which houses a powerful machine gun. It is armed to the teeth and also contains basic tools. A standard scout vehicle.

Many thanks to Jessica Smith for being my lighting assistant.
Partially completed post office and van. There a gap where the shop sign goes. I've still to decide whether to use the old style "Oifig an Phoist" in old Irish script or the newer style.

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.

The mill, which is also an Ancient Monument and has been restored, dates back to at least 1796 when the miller was Amos Webber."
The main post office in Manhattan resembles the Finnish House of Parliament -- compare to, say, this photo by wstryder. :)
