Tax Day 2012 by lesip

Tax Day 2012

In the United States, TAX DAY is a colloquial term for the day on which individual income tax returns are due to the federal government. It usually happens on the 15th of April but we got two extra days this year because the 15th fell on a Sunday and Monday was the 150th anniversary of D.C.'s emancipation, which is a federal holiday. Only a few post offices extend their hours because so many people file on line now and this is one of them. The car behind the mail truck is a police car with all it's lights on. Their are police directing the traffic in and out of the post office. Looks like a lot of people still procrastinate and wait till the last minute. I passed it at 6 p.m. and again at 8 p.m. Didn't have my POTD yet so while I was stopped at the light I grabbed my camera and took a couple shots. Some days are better than others.
I made the post office run earlier to avoid the rush - nice capture

I should have been posting a shuttle picture..... almost posted a shot taken with the lens cover on because I was in morning for missing that once in a lifetime shot . I'd add lol but as you can see I'm still not over it.
