Harking back to a bygone era and a Post Office not tainted by scandal.
This rather grand tympanum is above the door to Oxford's Post Office in St Aldgates.

The Ho Chi Minh City Post Office is located just across the road from the Notre Dame Cathedral. It's a tourist attraction too.

Hmm.. made #441 on explore (17 March). Thank you!
Post box in Beverley where they hold the Wednesday Market decorated with soft toys. Beverley East Yorkshire a large market town and is in the area of the Yorkshire Wolds a famous beauty spot! Taken with an iPhone SE 15 June 2021
My younger son gave me this postbox for my birthday last year, sometimes the postman puts the letters here and sometimes in my other letterbox. I heard a thud as he put a book in it today.
Kolomya is one of the pearls of Galicia that has always been an important city of the province, starting from the pre-Austrian times. Nowadays it is just a county center of the Ivano-Frankivsk region of Ukraine but the past days’ glory still exists! Many Ukrainian poets, writers, composers and musicians originate from here. Famous Lemberg-Vienna based writer Sacher Masoch wrote a lot about a very special charm of this town. These photographs don’t show the most beautiful places and buildings, but rather hidden and unknown. As photography is just my hobby I can afford shooting and publishing what is interesting to me, what I like, hate, laugh at or what inspires me.
This is my new dear dollie from Blythe Rescue Mission!!!!! I love her SOOOO much. I can not express to you how beautiful she is in person :))) <3<3<3

On April 18 the sun experienced a coronal mass ejection (CME) and spewed sun gunk at the Earth causing some areas to experience auroras. I happened to be out that night and saw something ghostly shifting above which was probably an aurora. Or perhaps more likely aliens in the form of broad, undulating swathes of pale light.
The next morning I took this picture of the sun exhibiting a bad complexion. Forgive me when I anthropomorphize. I'm new to astrophotography.
I've gotten into astrophotography because I'm always in need of a new hobby. I don't ever wish to be bored.

Few days later there was a first day of spring. But the weather here in Kiev decided otherwise - there will be a snow at last! That was really unexpected and broke my plans to test my new addition to lenses - Sigma 10-20mm DC EX. But anyway some shots were made and here is one :)
He's an idealised version of me in a post apocalyptic scenario out shooting photos. Digital art inspired by my photo and my imagination.

Green tape emblazoned with "Opened by Australia Post for inspection by Customs." is my worst nightmare when expecting a shipment of postcards, as it means the contents of the envelope will be either damaged or missing. Guaranteed. In the case of "Wache 9", a 100 year old postcard that survived two world wars and undoubtedly several owners, it means the latter.
My guess is that it was removed by a careless Australia Post or Customs employee so he/she could determine the envelope did not contain a kilogram of pure German cocaine and then somehow discarded.
Yes it survived two world wars, but it could not survive the might of Australia Post incompetency.
A (4) train creeps up the middle track of the Jerome Ave Line, passing maintenance forces replacing track at 161st St-Yankee Stadium station.

April showers bring May flowers is how the old saying goes and shower it did on this particular afternoon soaking the area in a steady downpour of rain bringing with it not flowers, but a rather a train on the lightly used rails of Union Pacific's Peoria Subdivision. Here, two 4400 horsepower General Electric AC products dressed in the company's "Building America" scheme chug north through the interlocking at South Edelstein beneath the evening’s retreating storm clouds with WIMPRQ 22 and its 39 loaded gondolas of rip-rap rock. UP is taking advantage of its current lack of freight traffic due to PSR, the on-going COVID-19 pandemic and economic meltdown to capitalize on a variety maintenance projects across the system and this particular line has recently become a hotbed for “W” trains like these, seeing sometimes 2-3 of these movements daily. This Chicago-Proviso bound train originated south of St. Louis at the Fred Weber Inc. trap rock quarry in Iron Mountain, MO, loadout for many of the railroad's various rock trains. This is the former Chicago & Northwestern SI Line running between Nelson, IL and Springfield, IL.
This beauty was located in Honolulu, Hawaii, but I'm not sure if it's still there or not. Maybe it was renamed at some point, I don't know, but the marquee showing The Deluge dates this photo to 1933. Interestingly, the movie was the first end-of-the-world disaster movie ever made, according to IMDB. Here's the caption on the back of the photo:

Dear Mary Evelyn and All:
Here is a picture of one of our theaters. It is the main one. I have to walk about a mile to go to this one while only a couple of blocks to go to a branch theater. Love, Thom Holland.
