Neither Rain, Nor Sleet, Nor Gloom... by taffy

Neither Rain, Nor Sleet, Nor Gloom...

Unofficial motto of the U.S. postal delivery person: "Neither rain, nor sleet, nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds." They've had their challenges this winter! Clarification though...it is not snowing today -- I added that to capture what it's been like!
For the mundane-mailbox challenge.
Mailbox nearest my house. The university library is in the background.

Fabulous processing Taffy, it looks so bleak I wonder if they will collect.

Great processing. The postal blue really pops out. I'd been eye balling my local postal boxes for a dynamic shot for some time now. You nailed it!

Love your photo, nice pop of blue.

That quote always reminds me of Terry Pratchett's Going Postal, where some of the letters have been nicked to make a little less sense! Great shot :)

Excellent. And great to think about the poor postal workers who have so many challenges!

Oh I like this, it stands the noble ready to face all kind of weather. Good entry for the challenge

Beautiful composition. Electronic mail has greatly reduced their importance nowadays.

Nice shot and good work on the processing.

A very typical scene around the country, made a bit more interesting my the snowflakes.
January 30th, 2014  
Lovely shot, like the pop of blue against the white of the snow

Excellent. Great for the challenge, I like the SC colour in the snow.
