Pillar box decorated with a knitted cover, for Remembrance Sunday.
"Looking close... on Friday!" and "Red & Green".
Fast disappearing from UK streets, the iconic red telephone box and an unusual double red pillar box. Seen from the top of a bus near Islington. I think it unusual to see these two together. Very often these telephone boxes have new uses; not here.
A drive into the countryside,away from the busy roads.Down the single track lanes,with the occasional spot to let cars pass.I came across this old post box built into the rustic and weathered stone wall. Such a wonderful spot,a few isolated properties, beautifully coloured leaves and shrubs just coming into bud. The rural ways, with the postman still collecting the posted mail, still continues, but perhaps it is not the lifeline with the outside world,that it once was.
The humble red post-box, and a couple chatting.
Pillars of society maybe?

Not having seen a red pillar box since I lived in the UK over 30 years ago, I was pleasantly surprised to see one on my holiday to Tasmania last year.
The gentleman didn't mind me including his image in my photo.

SOUND OF SILENCE – DISTURBED
Happy Hallowe'en Bryan : 0)
KUBRICK'S AXE
He drives in silence in his car
unaware that he's a ghost
on Halloween he dons a sheet
sends invitations in the post
they travel at the speed of light
landing on the doormats
of anyone he wishes to join him
at his party in the churchyard crypt
he drinks red wine and eats his fill
complains it goes straight through him
how many bottles must he drink
to be as merry as his friends
he wonders why he's stone cold sober
he wants to joke and dance real wild
he may as well be drinking water
the alcohol effects appear so mild
and why can he walk through bricks and mortar
no-one told him that he'd passed
he starts to ask questions of his guests
why nothing seems to last
his voice is no more than a hollow sound
as he begins to ask them why
then suddenly it dawns on him
why his bones are feeling dry
the sound of silence deafens him
as he asks them while they're dining
he lifts the sheet and underneath
he'd been struck with the axe from The Shining
they hadn't known why they only heard
from him only once a year
but now they knew and so did he
when he saw their eyes full of fear
but it's ok because they didn't run far
and they told him how they felt
if they could only see him on Halloween
they'd rather that than nowt
So they danced and sang and drank some more
in the candlelit crypt to the max
and he was content and so were they
I wonder if Kubrick ever missed his axe?

76.pillarbox red
Nottingham's former Assembly Rooms looking spotless in the Spring sunshine. It was originally built in the 18th Century and was also, for a period, a Post Office, but now forms part of the Marks and Spencer store to its left.
A Victorian-era postbox - dated 1870.
Playfair Street, 'The Rocks' - Sydney.
This cast iron, red painted, 'pillar box' was made by Triggs & Marr in 1870. It features a letter slot on two sides and a finial of a stylised Waratah (native flower) with embossed Acanthus leaves on top of the box.
Photographed in light rain on Playfair Street near the corner of Mill Lane, in Sydney.
On one of my night-time photography treks around the city and the harbour. On this occasion I had parked the car at Lavender Bay (on the northern side of the harbour) and walked across the harbour bridge, to photograph 'The Rocks' at night.

Today we had snow, then rain, then blue skies and sun...and just now it’s hailing. Nearly spring then.
The latest MIJU Wools postbox topper, seen today: a summer-themed one with beehive and monkish beekeeper, bees, flowers, mice and even a caterpillar or two!
South end of Tower Bridge. Looks like a late 19th century Victorian box but is a replica. The 1988 makers plate is a bit of a give-away.
Hmm. Post may be delayed longer than you think. Spotted on my way to a meeting, hence taken on my iPhone.
These post boxes are as rare now as a public phone box. Just about all of Australia Post's business these days is in delivering parcels and courier services. Do people still wirte letters anymore? It's a sad loss to our culture. I can remember all my early romantic interests were conducted through letters (I kept falling for girls who lived far away).
This is an Infra Red shot which I have coloured through colour toning. The red pillar box is set against a sepia background because I felt it looked better than the usual black and white IR.
The Grade II Listed Eastgate Pillar Box, alongside Eastgate one of the two remaining parts of the town walls, in Warwick, Warwickshire.
A Victorian early cylindrical pillar box of fluted cast iron, embossed with initials VR and crown, round cap with conical top.

Designed in the 1980s by Robert Cole. I still write letters and I love to get them, too. Since email arrived the volume of personal mail has fallen hugely. I think people are missing out on the joy of getting a personal letter written by hand from friends and lovers.
When did you ever receive a scented email with a decorated envelope and dried flowers stuck to the letter?!
Use it or lose it.
