First, I want to thank Brian once again for his efforts on behalf of the group and the fine gallery he has assembled this month, and every month for quite a while now. There are quite a few interesting and effective images in this month's gallery. My cofavorites are "On the Reservation," by Joseph Tainter and "Deere on the Roadside," by Don Guthrie. Joseph's image of the great American west is stunning in its simplicity and composition, with eye-catching clouds and the mystery of the road seemingly going nowhere. The lonely mailbox, securely padlocked, gives a feeling of strength and solitude, and certainly fits the theme to a T. Don's image is a great find, full of humor and color, and fitting the theme as well as anything could. The road going off to nowhere (once again) adds mystery and frames the image well. I also love Ann's "Slow Delivery," which I believe I have seen before. The boat adds to the ambiance, but its location and relative brightness detracts from the main subject of the image, to my eye, at least. Lastly, Filip Nicolaï's "Curiosity?" is a delightful image full of color and humor and good composition. Overall, a small but fine gallery.

Fun gallery!  I though I surely had a real mailbox somehwere in my files to contribute but either they were awful photos or not Pentax.. Keep coming back to bruce's "open wide" not so cute, a more serious photo that says a lot. Dan, actually, the boat was an important part of the photo to me when I took it.. I'm pretty sure I used a tele lens to bring the text on the wagon closer to the boat - yes, you saw it before - I put it on FB on aug 26 for throw back thursday because I took the photo on aug 26th in 1989.  I don't like bright whites either.. on my screen it doesn't come up bright.. story behind photo.. we drove the white pass back and forth to skagway at two different times on that trip.  The second go around the "P" had been restored to it's original whiteness.

Well done chaps. I'm quite astonished at how imaginative owners can be with their mail boxes. We don't seem to get anything like that around here.
