Post your post boxes! (mail boxes)

[Blow-in]

Andy (Wiener) suggested that 'post boxes' could make a good thread in the same way as 'Post your doors' & 'Post your bridges' so I thought I'd start this to see where it takes us. Like doors & bridges it's in Landscapes/Architecture and you may have to back track a bit to find the thread. So what do I mean by 'post boxes'? Principally I mean boxes that you post your mail in to rather than the boxes you may have at home or work where the mail arrives - but if they are interesting post them too.

Here is a starter of 3 from me...

Not much of a building! - its only small


I know this is no postbox, but its red like one!

Tim,

Thanks - I think telephone boxes can be included.

Here is another post box, this time post mounted.

Blow-in: great series! I like #2, particularly the way the box 'pushes' up the old stonework to assert its presence -- very animated.

The common German post box is a yellow one
(and comes in different sizes, so evtl. more to follow)
The grey boxes are electrical-telecommunication-whatsoever stuff.
