My mail box is very building like. It uses the same bricks that make the house. I always thought they looked rather silly, but everyone has them in this area. It seems like a lot of material to make a mailbox out of. They also are a pain to fix if a car hits it.

The arch at the top is curious though. Almost like a decoration for the sake of decoration. The bricks around the mail box seem to celebrate the mail boxes curvature. Now that I think of it, the form of the mailbox is somewhat similar to the brick structure only that the brick structure is elongated on the sides. I wonder if that was intentional or coincidental.

It also seems kind of weird to have this huge solid mass and only have a tiny box in it.

This building is in downtown Dallas. I often am interested when electrical wires start to play with buildings. It usually seems so intrusive to the building, kind of like a bug on a television set. I don't know if architects actually plan if the building will have power lines around them. This building in particular seems to be crowded by the wires and also possibly the road and some of the buildings around it.


I like this photo because these buildings seem kind of sneaky. They are peaking at me and I am peaking at them. The shape of the buildings are also truncated causing them to be something completely different than the building is look at from a whole.
