Post Office Skyscape

Wonersh

A beautiful January day today and I ended up at the picturesque Surrey village of Wonersh.

Here in the UK, The Post Office is undertaking a review of which branches it should retain, due to increasing losses and lower patronage in this electronic age. However, these places are such a lifeline to the community, especially the elderly and disadvantaged who tend to live in a world of cash devoid of computers.

Hopefully, this one will survive and continue to provide a valuable service.

Love that splash of red against the blue, blue sky...
Our local PO is very well used, fingers crossed it gets to stay!

Love the composition Ray and that blue sky - gorgeous - why do I always seem to be stuck in the office these days when the sky is blue?!

Post office especially for "air mail" ! (?). Somehow it reminds me of the route 66 impressions. Love the tilt and how you composed it Ray!
