I think this is a great mailbox. Thank you for stopping by. I am way behind on comments. We have a lot going on right now. Have a wonderful weekend.
A row of snail mailboxes await the postman in rural North Bloomfield. I suspect this is the only way you'll receive your mail here--the old fashion way--written with pen on paper. At least you don't have to worry about those annoying wiki-leaks.
Happy Slider's Sunday everyone.

It looks like this lighthouse actually lights up. How would you like to be delivering mail In the rain to this person. You stick your wet hand too far into the mailbox and someone turns on the switch ... shocking!
I have seen all kinds of decorative uses for lighthouses in the yard around here. Surprisingly, this is the first mailbox lighthouse I have seen. I suppose a boat mailbox will be next.

I painted a tree on each side along with the sunrise. I could show you but those Clematis vines are blocking it. Well...you will just have to check back later this fall and I'll show you the sides.
Chuckle!
This lopsided mailbox is waiting for letters on a deserted back road. It looks like it has had several partially successful renovations over the years! No sign of life nearby, but maybe the rural route postman will find it again and have something to put inside once more.
Most rural Alaskans live back in the forest and drive to their roadside mailboxes. When big packages arrive, there has to be a place for the mail carrier to drop them off - and I have seen some pretty unique ideas to solve the problem. The one pictured here, just happens to be one of my favorites - a big ol' cache.

I discovered this bridge by pure chance while wandering around the new Birmingham New Street Station.
“The Turtle and the Swallows" is a relief sculpture located on the mailbox of the “Casa de l'Ardiaca”, a Gothic building next to the Cathedral of Barcelona. It was designed in 1902 by the modernist architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner (Barcelona, 1850-1923) and executed by the modernist sculptor Alfons Juyol i Bach (Barcelona, 1862-1917).
The “Casa de l'Ardiaca”, originally constructed in the 12th century, was built into the remnants of the ancient Roman wall. It once served as the residence of the archdeacons of the cathedral. In the late 15th century, Archdeacon Lluís Desplà i d’Oms (Barcelona, 1444-1524) transformed the building into a Gothic palace adorned with Renaissance details, including a central courtyard with a fountain and an elegant upper gallery.
