Roadside mailboxes  by leggzy

Roadside mailboxes

A common sight on country roads. These ones are fairly ordinary, but some people take their mailboxes seriously & are very creative with them.

Apologies for not getting around much to comment lately - hoping to catch up soon!

Always love this sight - something the UK has never cottoned on to.

Wonderful light, colours and comp. And I'm allways amazed about the diversity of mailboxes in other countries. As here in Switzerland there are even on that regulations, and they have to and do look alike.

How interesting to see them all lined up like this, fav. I have only ever seen mail boxes like this in pictures as we don't have them over here. In the pictures I have seen though they are mostly outside peoples homes and not in a line like this. I am guessing, maybe wrongly, that this is because the houses are too far apart maybe, so they are clustered together like this to make delivery of the mail easier?

@stephanies These are mail boxes for farm properties. It was actually on the corner of the main road & a dirt road....so they would be for the farm houses that are along the dirt road. Some of the farms could be kilometres away...so yes, it's to make it easier for the delivery.
