In Old Fair Oaks, CA (USA)…chickens & roosters running around, bravely strutting up to you for food, is a common, every day experience for the local residents. Magazine & news articles have been written about this famous “Rooster Town”.
All you need do is write CHICKEN MAN on a letter, send it to Old Fair Oaks and the postman knows exactly where to deliver it! Now THAT’S cool!

My creative vision goes BEYOND the camera shutter..right into the Digital Dark Room where ART pieces emerge…each one reflecting a piece of my soul.

    Fun capture, Pat. I like the “APPROVED BY THE POSTMASTER GENERAL” — makes you wonder if it refers to the Chicken Man as an address, or the mailbox itself?

  • lolol:) I know…I was wondering the same thing! However…I’ve seen it on most mailboxes, so I guess it was just a “happen-chance” thing!
