I can’t begin to tell you how long I wanted to get this un-obstructed photo of the front of this building. It seemed every time one car left another one would pull up. Since there is street parking right in front of the building this made it a challenge for me. But my patients paid off and I’m able to bring you this nice street photo of the Dillon, MT Post Office.
The mural is awesome, what else can I say. I was really impressed with this one and really enjoyed the time I spent photographing it. This building also shares space with an attorney, which I though was interesting.
Thanks,
David W. Gates Jr.
