In the Eye of the Beholder

Captured this beauty today while picking up the mail at the community mailboxes.
Excellent shot. Composition is terrific.

@dakotaburns Thanks Donald! I had taken a few and was walking away, looked back and thought- no- that's the angle and went back to take one more.

Great capture. Yes, it's a beauty. I wonder what people think when they see you (or me for that matter) taking a photo to a rusted chain...

The pov is fabulous ... not to mention the colors and textures! Awesome work, Ann. Who'd have thought what photos lurk at the communities mailboxes.

@daisy Thank you Kathryn!
@anazad511 Thank you Ana! lol I know my neighbors are convinced I'm a bit off my rocker as they have seen photographing things in the garden, on the street at all times of the day, in street clothes or pjs- yup, I'm the crazy lady!
@karenann Thank you Karenann! Well, you know it too- you can find a photograph in the most unusual places if you have your eyes open and are paying attention!

Does this mean the owner of the mail box has chained it up seriously!?
January 26th, 2013  
@maggiemae No- this is a gate which is closed at night and locked so that people with less than legal intentions cannot gain access to the parking lot for the club house. People can still get their mailboxes if they want to.
