Junkmail no doubt

(Not for the Squeamish)

 

Attractively Arranged Street Frogs!

 

EYE Mail!

 

Images that catch my attention

as I move through the day

for their beauty

for their joy

for their strangeness

for a painting

for no particular reason at all.

London Post Office Railway

The Post Office in Supai village is the only remaining one with delivery by horse.

In the UK, you know you’re deep in the countryside when you come across a Royal Mail post box nestling in a dry stone wall like this.

 

This box is from the reign of King George V (1910-36) and I spotted it, with much pleasure, in the hamlet of Treen, not far from St Ives in Cornwall.

 

Lovely, isn't it? And by the way, for Royal Mail aficionados the post box number is TR26 40.

Thank you so much Vevet! ^-^ The stockings and hairclip fit my Monster High perfectly!

Postcard collage. Made yesterday, 02/21/23. The same Poiret fashions. Apparently, he didn't like women's hair, so always had his models wear turbans.

325012, heads south at Cathiron, running Warrington Royal Mail(Dbs) to Willesden Prdc.

 

To me, these mail workings are always something special to see, and I'm also pleased that parcels and letters still move by rail.

You got mail...

 

Strangely enough this was at "Letterfearn" on the shores of Loch Duich..

I just love these miniature figurines. They are so life like. For this particular photo, I was working on the Macro Monday theme “In a Row”, and just arranged them in a way to respect the theme rules and also create a pretext to have them standing in a row. And what’s best than waiting to receive mail? Well, of course, this excludes waiting to receive bills. ;-)

 

Thank you everyone for your visits, faves, and kind comments.

You have mail, by the train load

 

The British Rail class 325, built by ABB at Derby Litchurch Lane Works, solely to carry for Royal Mail, a total of 16 sets were built.

 

Passing through Crewe, headed by 325016 with 325007 at the rear, each set is made up of 4 unconnected unmanned carriages DTVA-PMV-TAV-DTVB, each with 4 roller shutters.

 

I love the large round oleo buffers, reminds me of the old CIE AEC Park Royals.

   

The mail box is a hog. It will gobble up anything!

Here's some old and new things I want to say for selfish marketing purposes:

 

1. *UPDATE* I have another new notebook on sale now: Click here to see! This one is a large grid notebook with two images taken from the National Gallery of Art. 3 notebooks in total and more designs to come!

 

2. Subscribe to my Mailing List if you would like to get updates about random stuff.

 

3. If you've been a fan of my nonsensical view of the world and want to support me but tight on money, if you could leave a testimonial on my website that would help me so much. With enough eye witness reports, it just might give enough evidence for the State to finally put me in the psychiatric ward.

I spotted this neighbourhood window and the little window bouquet .... then I noticed a mail box AND a mail slot on the door. Nice to see someone anticipating snail-mail.

One of the things I love when on our country drives is the imagination some people put into the letterboxes, or mail boxes if you will. So, as with past practice we have a few to show you along the way, including some quite exotic ones. This one somewhere between Dalby and Tara is a bit of a mixed bag including what looks like a Christmas reindeer and the ubiquitous milk churn.

One of the highlights in the WW1 Museum in Kansas City, Missouri was the "Mail Call" exhibit, depicting the mail sent by artist John Ross Myers and his son Walter Myers in the Balloon Corp.

Day 106 11/27/07

No mail,,means no crappy things from courts, attorneys, or child support enforcement. I get more stuff from them than advertisements.

This is a spot-free variety of ladybug, striped with shadows from the flower stems. Most people know that ladybugs are beneficial in the garden; one ladybug can eat up to 50 harmful aphids a day.

 

I read somewhere that in the old days, people used to order supplies of live ladybugs by mail to protect their vegetable and rose gardens. The supplier took the requisite number of specimens, put them in a box with a large pine cone, and the ladybugs obligingly crawled into the crevices and made themselves at home for a week or two. Apparently they like this environment and find enough to eat to sustain them. The box was then shipped, without fear of damaging the insects, and when it arrived, the purchaser simply tossed the pine cone into the garden and the ladybugs crawled out and went right to work. Yet another example of pioneer ingenuity!

They may not look pretty but they were very good at what they did. Typical of early 70's loco design they were functional with MU jumpers put on the ends and a plain blue livery which did nothing but accentuate the boxy feeling to them.

Later in life differing liveries were tried, which broke up the box look and the early Executive livery is seen here at Preston on 87024 whilst working the 1705 Glasgow-Euston.

Another past feature of Railway life is shown here, the carrying of mail on scheduled passenger services and the driver looks back and waits for mails to be loaded before continuing on his way south.

The Beriev 12 was called Chaika (Seagull) in Russia, but NATO called it Mail. Some of these 'birds' may still be in service in 2023.

Since Royal Scott is heading into storage (for now) I found this image from February 2022 when she came to East Lancashire Railway.

 

Fantastic engine to see, let hope she returns to steam again!
