A small green and white single-story United States Post Office building in Detroit, Oregon 97342, with an American flag on a pole out front and a blue USPS mailbox beside the entrance. Behind it, a hillside shows dramatic evidence of wildfire damage — charred tree stumps, scorched earth, and burnt vegetation in rusty oranges and browns. A surviving log cabin-style home with a green roof sits among tall evergreen pines on the hillside above. Construction equipment is visible to the right, suggesting ongoing recovery work. The moody, overcast scene conveys a community in the process of rebuilding. — ISO 800 · 110mm · f/8 · 1/60
