It’s no wonder our delivery person here has a huge smile. This once modest postal delivery truck seems to have been converted into an off-duty Time Attack Challenge monster. Massive piping, a rear spoiler and hefty diffuser suggest this Long Life USPS delivery truck is about to put down some epic course runs. A few last minute packages need to be delivered and then this thing’s hittin’ the track!!!
Custom track numbers and a USPS logo help land the vibe, but sadly the “PRIORITY” license plate did not make the cut :(
I hope you enjoy!

The lyrics of The Postal Service's "Nothing Better" written in my notebook. Probably one of my favorite songs ever...
Recycled Air 413, by The Postal Service from the album Give Up
Knuckles clenched to white as the landing gear retract for flight
My head's a balloon inflating with the altitude
Ba ba ba ba ...
The stale taste of recycled air

10 years ago I explored this abandoned post office in Gary, Indiana.
Combing through old unpublished photos today this one jumped out to me.
It is so striking to see the "Great Seal of the United States" rotting away on this door. Feels so fitting for the moment that we're in right now.
Another Queen Victoria post box still in use in Lincoln. This is numbered LN1 131. All my photos are geo-tagged by the GPS on my camera so if you want to know where I was stood when taking my images then just click onto the flickr map and you'll be able to zoom into where I was at the time.

Seen on the Southern Perimeter Road at Heathrow.
The post office has gotten its money's worth with this old Chevrolet van, which I estimate to be 10-12 years old.
A document issued by the Diocese of Minden in 1025 refers to this place as "Nyge Borg" (new castle). The settlement got fortified and in 1225 it became a "civitas", when the Counts of Hoya granted the city rights. The major reason for this development was its location at a convenient ford in the Weser River, leading to multiple trade routes radiating from the location.
This building originally erected in 1561 was later used as a "relais" by the House of Thurn and Taxis. This family had a kind of monopoly in all postal services in the Holy Roman Empire.
In 1678 the House of Hanover was able to enter the service in their territories in Northern Germany. Around 1700 different "post lines" were established: Hannover-Osnabrueck-Muenster (twice weekly), Hannover-Wildeshausen- Netherlands (twice weekly). Passengers could travel Hannover-Osnabrueck-Amsterdam with the postal service.
The Posthof was not just a "relais", where the horses were changed. It as well hosted a control station, where clerks opened letters and checked the content.
In Midtown Manhattan. With the "We Deliver ^Cleaner Air^ for You!" labels, I assume this runs on alternative fuel. It also has no grill. Could it be electric?

The village is carved out on the hill face, a staircase built of rough stone slabs lead the way to the gompa with houses on either side. An elderly villager (whom we meet on the way) volunteers to guide and accompany us till mid way; being ex-army personnel, speaks well in broken English.
About to part, we are requested to visit his home along with apology for the inability to help us better in locating the gonyer (key keeper in Ladakhi). We thank him but are forced to politely decline the invitation stating that the visit to gompa (and if possible the castle ruins) are going to cause us unnatural delay in reaching our night halt as it is.
Slightly ahead from there is a sturdy walnut tree reaching high up to the sky with a nice oblong hollow, inside which nestles cozily the village mail drop box. The hollow gets noisy no doubt in the morning with chirping of the feathered residents of the village, as their Homo sapien neighbors leaves a treat of barley grains for them regularly.
Smell of the cattle dung cake (to be used as fuel during the winter) on the stone walls of some houses clings in the air, the sun now quite indiscreet and strong. Apricots have been laid to dry in large plastic sheets, the white walls of the houses with deep red borders above bouncing off the strong daylight. Potted marigolds adding further blaze of color. The set is not much different from any other Ladakhi village perhaps, but the effect is profound. With each step upwards, the silence is interrupted only by the sound of my deep breathing.
The crust of the cocoon intricately woven to hold all the fragments closely together for the past months feels cracked for a moment, needing to brush aside the disturbing thought hurriedly try to match Ankur's swift steps.

In 2007, hundreds of official U.S. Postal Service blue collection boxes in highly visible locations across 200 cities were transformed into Star Wars character R2D2 look-alikes. The decal-covered mailboxes were rolled out to promote a joint venture with Lucasfilm Ltd: a commemorative stamp roll celebrating the 30th anniversary of Star Wars' release, that went on sale May 25 of that year.
"R2-D2 is the feisty little droid who embodies the trust and dependability for which the Postal Service is so renowned." (USPS.gov)

i originally did this with 49 albums, but thought id expand it. it'll be interesting to see if they can all be identified.
This is an old long abandoned Post Office in the Gold Hill portion of Virginia City. Virginia City was established in 1859 in order to support the large number of gold and silver mining operations that existed in this region at the time. There were more than 100 mines around here in what became known as the Comstock Lode. This is in reference to Henry Comstock, owner of the property where a huge silver deposit was discovered in June 1859. Mr. Comstock also was one of the first guys to find gold in "Gold Canyon" just south of Virginia City.
As I was trying to get a correct angle on the scaffolding up above a denim mini skirt walked into my line of focus.............most inconsiderate of her really!
Previously just a Dodge, the Caravan's cargo version was marketed under the Ram brand for its last couple of years. With the arrival off Ram's own version of the Fiat Doblo (the ProMaster City, now itself discontinued), the C/V Trademan was taken off the market following the 2015 model year.

that there is truth,
and love is real.
and i want life in every word,
to the extent that it's absurd.
i know you're wise beyond your years,
but do you ever get the fear,
your perfect verse is just a lie
you tell yourself to help you get by.

After his airmail service ended, Lee flew for United Airlines, retiring from the company in 1949. At that time he had flown longer and farther than any other pilot alive.

In 1929, Ford Motor Co. was offered a contract to produce vehicles for the US Postal Service. This resulted in the manufacturing of approximately 300 Postal Service vehicles by Ford during 1929 and 1930. The Postal Service had used vehicles before for residential delivery, but had not been satisfied with their reliability. With the introduction of the Model A Ford units, the Postal Service at last had a reliable delivery vehicle.
Bodies for the Model A delivery trucks were specially designed by the Postal Service and constructed in Ford's body building shops. The bodies were made of wood and mounted on the standard 103-inch-wheelbase Model A Commercial chassis, using the Ford's steel cowling and fenders. The standard Model A powertrain, a 40hp 4-cylinder L-head engine displacing 200.3 cubic inches (3,282.3cc) with three-speed manual transmission, was utilized for the Postal Service trucks.
Because their wood body construction did not weather well, few of the Model A Postal Service trucks have survived the ravages of time. It is estimated that fewer than 20 authentic examples remain today.
This Mailtruck has been nicely restored and finished in its correct dark olive-green paint with black hood and fenders. Documentation on file indicate that the truck came from the USA to the Netherlands in 1989. Exceedingly rare in the USA, let alone aboard, it is very likely that this is the only Mailtruck outside of the country of its birth.
