I love this little essay , Marnie --- and I want to go there NOW :) If I had one tiny nit is that I probably would have shot the mail box closeup straight-on - but the light may have made that not work - (like if your shadow fell on the boxes and didn't help it) likewise the door with number 5 on it, but that isn't clear either because of the fall of light... but the group works wonderfully and I love love lvoe places like that.
