[W]histle [w]hile [w]e [w]ork…..?

Doubtful. Postal service resumes today, now that the union workers have been legislated back to work by our government. I really could’ve waited longer for my mail if it meant the strike would eventually end better. Those jeans I ordered likely won’t fit anyway. Here at the main post office in Dartmouth, the red boxes outside were still bolted shut with ‘Temporarily Out of Service’ stickers on them.

Great angle and colour. I didn't even get bothered by the strike. I've changed over to e-billing for all my monthly payments. I barely get any other mail.

[Janna Dawn Goldrup]

@russianblue I usually don't get 'real' mail either...just when I do something silly like place an online order. ;)

[Jenn]

Didn't miss the mail at all. Hydro was hand delivered last week, other than that it was nice not to have all the junk in the box! Great POV, I haven't seen a box like that around here!

[Kerri]

Great perspective

[Bob G]

Great caption and shot. I didn't miss it either. I'd have lots more to say about these guys, but never know when one might be listening in.

The only thing I've missed about the mail service is sending parcels to and from England. Other than that, they can keep the bills.....

[Jani M]

We have orange boxes in Finland. Maybe I should shoot one...

[Aarti krishnakumar]

yayy to postal service! here we have plain green or red boxes.. :)

[Sean]

@shutterbugger Open your eyes, kiddo! They are all over the place!
@jgoldrup Cool idea for a shot. Is that a postie sitting on the bench in the background?! lol

[Lauren]

Although I've been waiting to send some mail, i wish that the strike had ended better. i like your perspective and angle here

[alia_801]

Really nice angle and DOF :) Maybe we should have a 'post boxes around the world' theme - something so basic seems to come in such a range of shapes, sizes and colours!

[Janna E.]

Nice focus. I'm sorry that the postmen didn't reach their goal. I certainly couldn't do without them!

[Margaret Tryon]

Excellent focus. Sounds like a difficult time.

[Janna Dawn Goldrup]

@alia_801 @aaroo4 @janmaki ~ Please do share a photo of your country's postal receptacles!

[Janna Dawn Goldrup]

@shutterbugger ~ You mean one that is bolted shut, or one with the postal codes all over it for 'decoration'?

[Jenn]

Since I never mail anything, I didn't notice them bolted shot. I guess I should look around a bit more, since Sean says they're all over the place!

[Krissy]

The only reason I missed the postal workers was because working for a courier company was crazy during the strike ;).
