In the Post Office Lobby

A cold gray day, and my new camera did not arrive (delayed til tomorrow) so photography focus was on older images. I found several from Chicago Open House that I had never posted. This is the US Post Office -- a massive structure undergoing a renovation after almost 2 decades of housing rodents, birds, etc. The lobby has been completed and it's quite impressive. I was with Junko and Andie, and you can see their images from this site here:

Andie's interpretation (which of course has people!): https://365project.org/ukandie1/365/2018-10-21

Very impressive, I like the reflections.

Really beautiful. We have some grand old post offices in Texas that so far have escaped the wrecking ball. Since they have changed their operations to centralized hubs, some of the wonderful old ones are being used for other businesses now.

Can’t fault that hall for its beauty… but that floor sure looks slippery...

Spectacular black and white right down to the polish on the floor and the "Hmmmm should I stay in this picture?" person at the end of the room. I love the view through the window too.
