Found this along the Clinch River Highway over near Fort Blackmore, Virginia a few months ago. Looks like its days are numbered.
An old post office, long closed, sits among horse farms in a tranquil setting in Clarke County, Virginia.

There are so many posts holding up the roof on the pier that it’s amazing that there’s room for people to sit and eat. Then again, with the wind that day, it’s a good thing there was something keeping the roof attached. Polaroid I-2, Polaroid I-Type Color film.

Thanks to Luna Park for letting me use her computer while mine is fried!! You are the best.
"Poutokomanawa is a large, carved wooden post found inside a traditional Maori ancestral house or meeting house, not a standalone totem pole. It functions as a central support post that holds up the ridgepole of the roof, providing structural stability and symbolically representing a carved ancestor. These posts are a form of whakairo rakau, or wood carving, which is a significant art form in Maori culture. "AI Summary. The Poutokomanawa at the Albatross Centre, Harrington Point Road, Otago Peninsula, Dunedin, New Zealand. Unfortunately I didn't take a photo of the label at the bottom of the post to get the detailed description of that particular post but here is a Facebook description of the post by the Royal Albatross Centre.
"The carving you see is the poutokomanawa or heart post carved from mataī that stands in the middle of the Royal Albatross Centre. It was carved by the people of Ōtakou in 1990, 150 years after the initial signing of Te Tiriti, and beautifully represents their whakapapa, their ancestry, those that came before. Tahu Pōtiki stands at the top, leader of Kai Tahu, and below him are his descendants who travelled south, some who eventually settled at Pukekura." www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1127020052804541&id=1...
Out yesterday for another lovely walk with ianbartlett. We did about 10 miles, of which at least a couple were in the clouds ... we did get a bit wet, but it was wonderful to be in the eerie quiet mistiness.
I only took a 45mm (90mm on a full frame) lens with my Ollie 1mk3. I also set the camera to square and mono, although given the greyness of the day, everything was pretty much black and white anyway :))
We've ended up with the 1st week of this year's summer holiday in the Durham Dales at Middleton-in-Teesdale pretty much by chance. Covid19 & lockdown made chaos of any other plans - just the same as for everyone else.
It's turned out totally brilliant! A very peaceful village in the terrific, wild landscape of the Northern Pennines: sweeping upland moors, great rivers and watercourses. Strange placenames & geographical features abound.
Imagine my excitement when even the most cursory research before our trip revealed about 10 disused mines within the immediate vicinity of the village. After dinner one evening, armed with the vaguest knowledge of where one was, I wandered off into the twilight to go take a look. Twenty minutes on foot from the house I stumbled upon this adit pretty much by chance. It doesn't seem to be any of the ones mentioned on the net and is not marked on the old maps. A small stream flows out the entrance and the first 50m are bricklined. After that the adit is tunnelled through the rock with great swathes of white crystals growing across the walls and small, white stalactites ('ceiling straws') sprouting from the roof. I abandoned progress about 100m in simply not in the mood for further adventure but the tunnel continued. An adventure for another day...
The image is acheived by an in-camera double-exposure: one exposure to light paint the foreground tunnel and the 2nd exposure to let me pop further into the tunnel and light paint that.
