An image captured on the Tees road, heading out of Hartlepool, where nature meets industry.
The lakes on either side of this road, provide a wonderful habitat for many species of birds, with Saltholme Nature Reserve close by.
As the sun descended, the sky became a blaze of colour, lighting up the large band of cloud overhead. Combined with the foreground grasses in silhouette, I thought it provided quite a frame for this beautiful scene.
A spray of purple Duranta makes friends with someone's letter box by the front fence.
Happy Fence Friday !!

Well it is not really , but there is though a feel of the old house in the woods as you pass . I have tried to enhance that feel by putting it through a filter on the computer photo storage programme and then another filter here on flickr editor . An intriguing sight anyway !!
Small towns in Australian hills were scattered with so many kinds of creative, beautiful letterboxes, like this one :)

A place I have passed a number of times , but the first time I have looked at twice . The little alley leads to a door , but there does not seem to be a building behind it !
The little alley looked worth a shot , so here it is - I guess the entrance here leads into one of the buildings to one side , possibly a rear property . intriguing all the same !!
And oopps ! I did not mean to get a reflection of the photographer ( two shots within a week with people in !! Had to get a shot with people in for SSC this week - which I now have !! ) .
These letterboxes on North Bruny Island make an interesting picture in themselves. But when you look more closely at them they reveal some very important historical links.
Two names in particular stand out here: D'Entrecasteaux and Pybus. The first letterbox of interest belongs to the most impressive modern house on the island, the 2019 award winning design of D’Entrecasteaux House. room11.com.au/projects/apollo-bay-house/
The second is the family name of Pybus, directly descended from Richard Pybus who in 1829 was granted the largest plot of land on Bruny Island. This certainly makes the Pybus family the most important landholder on the island to this day. His great great granddaughter, the historian and author Cassandra Pybus has written several classic books interpreting the role her family played in the early colonisation, and raising some very pertinent, if personally difficult questions.
Tomorrow I will show you her book on Truganini, a tale of supreme tragedy and personal courage in the face of a true cultural apocalypse.

Unfortunately not. Actually, neither the Cliffs nor the Royal Mail are unchangeable. The Royal Mail is an institution with a history, true, but it is exposed to the wear and tear of time as any human institution is. Shot with the Helios44M-7 wide-open.
Pentacon 3.5/30 wide-open and as close as possible. A letter box in my village that every year is getting this Christmas treatment. This is done by otherwise very private people. For a few weeks of the year, they externalise parts of their inner world and make it public. It is a small-scale neighbourly world of harmony. Magic!

When I went to the letterbox to collect the mail this morning I spotted this Huntsman (I think) had moved in.
I haven't done any letterboxes for a few weeks and I still have a few to go. As usual, today's two have a rural theme. This one, Mr. Piggy I guess was in suburban Brisbane.
Pigs are surprisingly common themes as they are often fashioned out of old gas cylinders.

Another creative letterbox on the way into Tamworth, New South Wales and Country Music Capital of Australia. I thought John Deere would be rather proud of this recreation.
Early next week, in one fell swoop I am going to upload a large batch of very creative letterboxes that we found on the road from Coonabarabran to Siding Springs Observatory in the Warrumbungles, a dramatic range of mountains west of the town. I'll disable comments because there are just too many of them but I am eager to contribute them to a couple of letterbox groups of which I am a member. There is a lot of talent out there and they certainly add their bit to make a country drive in Australia a bit more enjoyable.
