Missing from my photos is a lovely one of the row of light fixtures inside our downtown post office.The security guard made me delete it off my camera!In case you are not aware as I wasn't apparently taking photos of a federal building is not allowed.Whoops!After I got home and told my husband of my little ordeal he laughed at me and told me it was an unspoken rule.Now after the fact yes it makes sense but maybe it should be a little more spoken,like a sign on the door or something.Also thankful they didn't take my camera which is another thing my husband told me they could have done,yikes!I would have cried.So to save anyone else who reads my blog from feeling terribly stupid like I did,don't take photos of a federal building,even if they have really neat design.
Speaking of photos,does anyone know how to keep blogger from making your photos look crummy?I'll take crystal clear photos and when I upload them on here they turn a bit fuzzy.
What lovely photos! I have a thing for old buildings too - so much care and craftsmanship went into them :) Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeletethese pictures look great. that tree is beautiful. i wonder what it is.
ReplyDeleteThese are great snapshots! I don't see the fuzziness you speak of :) They look great!
ReplyDeleteThose blossoms are gorgeous! OUr post office has a really neat old mural inside, I've never tried to take a picture of it but now I wonder! You could try hosting your pics on a site like Photobucket or Flickr and embedding them in your posts from the original site. Maybe that would help?
ReplyDeleteThe pink tree is a Tulip tree, right?
ReplyDeleteBlogger compresses the images to keep the file size low. I upload whatever size I have, and when you click on the image, it shows the actual size and looks pretty good. =)
I guess they don't get enough spys in post offices for it to be worth putting up a sign.
ReplyDeleteWow, I had no idea you couldn't take pics of Federal buildings either! lol These shots are lovely.
ReplyDeleteI upload all of my pics to Photobucket and then use the picture URLs to post them instead of uploading them in Blogger, as someone above mentioned that should fix your problem.
beautiful pink blossoms! (hey, i am your 200th follower! congrats!)
