Took a little walk-about in Brattleboro VT and saw some things worth shooting (with my camera of course :mrgreen: ). Here is one of the things I captured.

Critiques and comments are welcomed & appreciated. :-)

Interesting. Looks a little like some of the sidewalks in NY with the scaffolding.

Love walking around Brattleboro. They have some great old buildings downtown and the River can be beautiful!

Thanks John, I thought the same thing about the scaffolding. It makes great leading lines.

In the past I have been to Brattleboro on business. This was the first time I was able to take my time; it won’t be the last time.

Nice shot! Actually, what was this box for? Or was it just decorative? They could always weld the slot shut!

It looks like a mail box but come to think of it I didn’t check to see if the drop slot operated. Something to remember for the next time. :?

30 years ago, late on a Friday night, a guy positioned a mailbox like this in front of a bank's overnight deposit slot, wrapping chains around it and hung a sign that said, "Deposit slot out of order; make all deposits in mailbox."

Early Monday morning, the thieves removed the mailbox and made off with an estimated $500,000 in overnight deposits. It was presumed that they staked out the box all weekend long, just to be sure no one was suspicious. They were never caught.

I can guarantee that it wasn’t me. If I made off with that kind of money I would own at least one full sensor camera.

Thank you Sue. It was a little challenging getting into the position I needed to get the lower perspective I wanted. I must have looked funny to people passing by. :shock:
