Night Deposit Box 'conversion' to mailbox

This was taken at the old City Bank building on East Capitol (previous picture), which has now been converted into a private residence. I thought it was very clever that they use the former Night Deposit Box as their mailbox. The owners finally had to put a sign reading “mailbox” on it because no mail carrier except the regular one could ever find it.

I really like this with the branches criss-crossing that reflection - well spotted. V

The reflection provides such depth to this shot and the tree branches are a nice effect. Cool capture.

What a cool mailbox! I like the image with the reflection in the window. It must be an amazing residence. Would love to peak inside. V

it would seem their mail must be quite secure then..
