My favorite outtake from today’s Post Office Photo Safari, I like the way the raised letters toss shadows on the brick wall.

Yesterday evening I used Google maps and printed out how to get to nearly every Post Office in a rectangle with the lower left corner being the outskirts of northeast Columbia and the upper right corner being at Wallace because today we were going up to Chesterfield, SC to visit Donna’s cousin Laurie and her husband Ted. Depending on which route we took we could probably snag a bunch of fresh Post Offices. We took photographs of seven on the way up.

I was taking photos of the one in Chesterfield while Donna called Laurie for directions to her house. We had been there once before and I was only sure that they lived north of town, but little else. If we needed to find any of 16 Post Offices in north central South Carolina, I was ready with full color street level maps, but when we needed to know how to get to Laurie & Ted’s house for lunch, I was no help. Guess I should have printed out that map.

Because it was such a beautiful day, we took a different way home and added 5 more Post Offices to our trophy case, for a total today of thirteen. Maybe tomorrow I’ll have enough time to add them to the gallery.
