"Saxtead Green Post Windmill is a Grade II listed post mill at Saxtead Green, Framlingham, Suffolk, England.
The mill, which is also an Ancient Monument and has been restored, dates back to at least 1796 when the miller was Amos Webber."
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.
The old Post Office in Belleville, ON at the corner of Bridge Street East and Pinnacle Street. A few pedestrians and an early car are the street.

A Coal Tax post, No. 217, type 1 granite block. Seen on the Thames bank to the West of Dartford Creek at Crayford Ness. This is the most Easterly post.
These were set up around London in the 1860s to collect duties on coal. The tax was payable to the City of London whose influence reached far beyond the square mile. The boundary was the Metropolitan Police area, and is very close to the Greater London boundary today.
In the background the flood barrier on the River Darent.
Pictured, post exchange, Tyndall Field, 1943.
The installation is now known as Tyndall Air Force Base, Fla. An exchange has existed at Tyndall since the installation opened in 1941 as a gunnery range.
With the U.S. Air Force's establishment in 1947, Tyndall became an Air Force base. The exchange went from a "post exchange" to a "base exchange," a term used to describe exchanges on the newly formed Air Force bases. "Post exchanges" continued to refer to those exchanges on Army posts.
Today, the Army & Air Force Exchange Service operates a modern shopping mall at Tyndall.
In 2018 after Hurricane Michael devastated the installation, the Army & Air Force Exchange Service deployed a "mobile field exchange" to provide troops with basic necessities as they were helping Tyndall recover. The MFE was the only retailer open for miles around.
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.
