Fascinating - to put it mildly! Many thanks for all the additional, inspiring suggestions too. :o) I won't be seeing my 59th Birthday again so it's highly unlikely I'll ever 'sell' photographs as photography is a new retirement hobby for me, purely for my own pleasure rather than anything else. However, I would very much like my own, personal albums and 'documentary series' of the mailbox and maybe a few other places in our local surroundings. It's a busy tourist area and people often say that area of the town has been "photographed to death" - true enough - but there are always new angles and opportunies in my opinion. Polly
