These (originally) olive green mail boxes belonging to the US Postal Service can be found in various, apparently random, locations. They are temporary storage boxes for letter carriers. They can be stocked with "relays," sacks or trays of mail for a delivery route, allowing the carrier to restock en route without either carrying a huge load or returning to a post office for more of the day's mail to deliver.
I remember being puzzled as a kid by the grammar of the statement found on some of them, "Not for deposit of mail." What kind of mail is "Deposit Of?"
This one does not look like it's in recent use.

This building was originally built around 1888 as a saloon. The "Mail Pouch" sign was painted on the side around 1895, and restored in 1994.
Graceful curves, and great lighting fixtures, all in a staircase! I wanted to climb to the top to get a photo of the light fixture, but I didn't want to push my luck, I didn't belong there, but I was glad I took the chance. I was greatly rewarded. It might seem silly, but I've never been so excited or impressed by such a simple thing like a set of stairs in an office building before. I could have sat in a chair for a half hour just admiring the lines, the lighting, and the color in here.
Yeah, I guess I'm a geek. (laugh)

Jump aboard the miniature Mail Rail train and travel through the tunnels underneath London's Mount Pleasant sorting office. The track stretches all the way from Paddington to Whitechapel.
During the First World War, the Mail Rail tunnels were used to store art treasures belonging to the Tate, British Museum and National Portrait Gallery to protect them from German attacks.
couldn't find any red barns nearby so had to settle for these 2 "homes" for the mail... 😊
(note: sky was a bit gray with all the smoke in the air)

So it's a happy Mabby Mail day :D Not only fun Mab Graves goodies but her new little poodle arrived too!!!!
In Lapland you can see mailboxes along the roads like these. Sometimes the local residents are checking for mail. But the mailboxes do look a bit out of place with the ice and snow.
Nothing like seeing a bald eagle close (or an owl for that matter).

We are aboard the mailboat J.W. Westcott on the Detroit River approaching the Great Lakes Fleet Roger Blough with a delivery of mail and supplies. The 1972 built Blough measures 105' wide x 858' long and is most likely loaded about 26 ft deep with an ore load for Conneaut, Ohio - June 16, 2006.
A very grainy and dreamy vision of Royal Mail, something different! A bit like marmite you either like it or you don’t
