OK, OK, I’ll Post Some Words

US's Second Smallest Police StationThe building on the right is billed as the World’s Smallest Police Station on RoadsideAmerica.com, but it isn’t even the smallest in the US, there is one in a phone booth in Florida. When the town of Ridgeway, SC outgrew it in 1990 they moved into a much larger place – the building on the left. 🙂 Ridgeway is one of 8 towns we visited this morning on our Post Office Safari. Blair, Blythewood, Jenkinsville, Peak, Pomaria, Rion & Winnsboro were the others. Their photos are already up in the gallery. 267 down, 193 to go.

Before we headed out of town we went over to the Balloon Fest to watch the morning’s mass ascension. We ended up volunteering to help one crew launch their balloon. They really didn’t need too much help, so I took a bunch of pictures as we they got ready. You can see the Internet worthy ones over on my Flickr! site.

Oak Alley

Oak Alley Plantation, an antebellum Mississippi River mansion in Vacherie, LA. From an old slide of mine I scanned. The slide was so dusty that the only way to make a presentable image was to run PSP’s dark scratch removal tool which made the image look painted, so I just enhanced that thought with a Paint Engine filter.

Flickr!

So late, I’m well past being fashionable. I’m pathetically late. I signed up for a Flickr account.

I’ve started by loading some of the Post Office photos and I got a little less than half uploaded today.

I really like the mapping feature, but it is for all your photos, so maybe I’ll just keep this account limited to SC Post Offices… Explore Brian the Red’s geotagged photos on a Map

Turns out that this thing (Flickr!) is so popular that there is a group set up for just about every type of photograph, including one for pictures of Post Offices. There are 135 members with 1304 photos in the group.

I’ve even added a little Flickr! thing in the sidebar.
