Letters From Aus-Stralia

Not as catchy a title as the old proclaimers song but at least its a more pleasant place by vertue of the fact it has less Americans (sorry Mdm Cyn)

So here are my offerings for the monthly title of "Letters":

"Letter from Australia"

f2 1/200 EV-1 ISO 1600

This is taken outside the old main central post office in Sydney where there is a bank of beautiful old brass post boxes with mail posted based on whether it is going to Australia, Franked or International.  I can just imagine all those old ten pound pommes sending letters home to family (or old prison cell mates) telling them about their new adventures.  And with the wear on the brass I can imagine there have been a few thousands other people touched it since.

"Leters"

f2.8 1/15 ISO70

I couldn't resist a little play on the title.  Think about it, what do Estate Agents do?  OK for those on Dubai what do estate agents do other than look after their own self interests and rip of everybody they can.  This was taken on the iPhone so you'll have to forgive any deficiency in the image quality or colour rendering, but otherwise feel free to comment on composition, lighting, off board flashes (although how on an iphone!!).
