DP Theme Day: Numbers

One Of These Is Not Like The Others - post office boxes in Stayton Oregon

NumbersIt's time once again for the City Daily Photo theme day, which for May 1st is "numbers." My offering is of some of the post office boxes at the post office on 2nd Ave.

I'm a sucker for anything involving repeating patterns. I had thought about posting something involving Stayton's zip code, or phone number prefixes, but in the end, I liked this idea best.

Neat, it reminds me of the game on the Price is Right, where you punch the numbers and pull out the prize.

You're right; repeated patterns often make appealing photos. This is a wonderful theme subject!

Beautiful! Our post office boxes are in the newer style which are not as interesting as yours.

As ever, I love the way you see things Celine. This is definitely one of the most appealing theme day shots for me. And I do like both angles, BTW, both very nicely framed. Just beautiful graphically and photographically.

I love those old post office boxes. In fact, when the local Woody Creek post office remodeled and installed new post office boxes, they sold the doors from the old boxes. I have one framed in a shadow box hanging on my wall.
