I kind of like your starving drug addict pimp street people pix. More of those please... <vbg> Seriously, I like this one. I'm a sucker for anything of a feline nature (living with four of 'em does that to ya). Kind of a folk art thing going there. You're right. lovely bokeh. FWIW, my favourite mailbox of all time is (or maybe "was") in St. Petersburg, not in Russia, but near Kitchener Ontario. Not so much a village as an intersection. A house near there has a standard Canada Post regulation mailbox, at the standard height. Attached to that is a pole, and about 10 feet in the air is a smaller mailbox, with the words "Air Mail" written on it. I love that one, but I've never caught it on camera. I doubt it's there any more - moot point, as I'm never there anymore anyway. So, Shel, enough meandering. Nice shot of an interesting subject. Good choice of lens, too. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
