I thought I had new innovative way of correspondence,
until it was pointed out to me that it is a little difficult reading the address through the windows.
Oh well...back to the drawing board.
Note the oxymoron top left...how can snail mail ever compete with e-mail.(then again, it took a while to POST this one;)

A close up of the postage stamp, and a shot of the building will be in the workshop.

Some info on the postage stamp;
Surrounded by soaring mountains and edged by the famous Rakaia River, the Lake Coleridge Basin is a recreational paradise. Only one hour's drive west of Christchurch, the major South Island city of New Zealand and 20 minutes drive from the ski resort town of Methven. In a natural wilderness, a scenic playground, opportunity awaits:
Salmon fishing, rafting or jet boating the fast, flowing, snow fed waters of the Rakaia River.
Snow boarding or skiing at the internationally acclaimed Mt Hutt ski field, one of three ski fields easily accessible to the area.
Boating, wind surfing or trout fishing in the glacial blue waters of Canterbury's most popular lake, Lake Coleridge.

The windows are from the Bank of New Zealand buiding in Auckland's Queen Street.
Built from imported Tasmanian sandstone in 1866-67.
It is only a facade to a high rise glass tower today.

PP work,
Selected one window, copied and pasted four times, applied perspective to match envelopes.

love your idea, another way to look at envelopes.
well done, clear and crisp.
thanks, y2koSan

Hello Peter,

I love your pp work!
It is always so original and fresh!

It would be great for a 'Round Robin'! You could add all the addresses to which it is being circulated!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hello, Peter.

Once again, your quirky sense of humour (which I admire) has let you come up with yet another original twist to the theme.

An excellent composition and a very interesting note too!

Best Wishes,

John.

A typical signwriter's mind Pete. Excellent bit of PP with good colour and detail. Postage is the same rate here for normal post anyway.

this is a singularly clever entry into the theme -- I do love visual puns and you have concocted one of the best. Superb PP work

Now this is something different.... very "Artistic", somehow it just remind me those windows of the miniature houses.... another great pp work and creativity, :D
