formidable , et les postes si retrouvent ?

A fascinating collection George...well presented.
I wonder if a letterbox/mailbox is considered to be an extension of one's personality ;-)

Some can be either quite lavish or unusual - so, yes, I'd say there's an element of that.

Looks great on black. A really fascinating collection.

o0o a sigh of relief that you have not named them all ;-)))))))))))))))
but I guess there is time ... ;-) we could have a "on the letterbox
trail 4U " ;-) oOo

ADMIRED in 4U

PS: does everyone take it in turns to empty the letterboxes and deliver to their
neighbours I wonder ;-) hehehe

Not usually, Bev, but it's common if visiting friends to check their box and take in any mail. :-)

ADMIRED in LANDSCAPES 4U

can I put here also my one ? :)
very sympathetic catch !!!

For the Cure:

Think Pink!
Breast Cancer Awareness!

Australia's post office seems to tolerate more diversity than the USPO... ;) (Having gotten a notice to fix our mailbox in the last couple of months or Else We Won't Deliver--)

For rural boxes here, almost anything is allowed provided the slot for depositing mail is within certain height limits (so it can be reached through a vehicle window).

Love it !!!

Sadly... not tolerated here.. but then,, that says alot too !!

Thanks, Pam. See my response to sigwv above.

Nice one, George!

Love this one!

Yes Brilliant on Black. Brilliantly captured shot. Well done George. Hugs Tess ♥♥♥

I love the different boxes, so creative! Here in Germany everything is normed, the EU famously even tried to norm cucumber curvature;-)

Fabulous shot, George. That is wonderful.

A lovely capture of a remarkable sight,

looks fun

I've just seen now that you became on honourable member of the Grumpy old men's club house... so I guess that gives me the right to be grumpy here? (:-)

The scene is not bad of course and it may even have some interesting points. On my part I'd have chosen a different POV and composition: one of those letter box in foreground and the following row in a lovely diagonal.

Ah yes, composition is always good ground for grumpiness and differing opinions. :-)
I suspect your shot would have been similar to this one.

I prefer the horizontal format in this case, but it's a matter of personal choice. Anyone else care to comment on this?

Yes, I would have chosen this one, more or less. Actually grumpiness is not the word here, I have no motive to feel grumpy about your photo or choice. It's just that I'm a bit fed up of all those nonsensical comments one reads in this site, like "great shot" or the like. Better use the like button instead. I think it's much more interesting to know how really other people see the images we like. If we can afford that of course.

Thanks for the feedback. I think you'll find similar comments on most photo sites. You've started me thinking about writing a blog article on comments/faves - I suspect different people take different approaches (I only 'favourite' if the image really appeals strongly, I don't subscribe to the facebook style 'like' as an indication only of having seen something).

I agree with what you say here. I've been on several sites and the average comments are similar everywhere (the only exceptions are Trekearth - which was the first site I started to post my photos in and Photofolia which perhaps for that reason does not count many members like here). As a matter of facts I wrote an ironical article about that matter just the first days I joined this site. I wanted to see what kind of reactions I could raise with that. Now that I know the site better probably I would not write the same things again.
I'm curious to hear your views on this matter.

About the "like" button I was strongly contrary to that at the beginning. After quite a good time spent in photographic sites I understood that is the only way some people have to "assess" a photo, either because they don't know English or they are not accustomed with expressing one's feelings and impressions (or are too hasty and not willing to do it). So why not? Let them use it if they are not able to have a more meaningful relationship...

Interesting collection. Beautiful composition and colors. Great landscape.

Many thanks to all who commented and faved this shot. From your reactions, I think I'll have to start a project to capture more of these letterboxes. :-)

i like so much this picture***********************************bravo

Merci beaucoup, Simone

Wonderful seen and captured !

Thank you, Ulrich.

Where is your letterbox?

My letterbox was many kilometers from these, Gisela, but on ipernity you will find it as the previous image in my photo stream.

I love this shot.

Thank you, Miguel.

You have a very great collection !!
Nice one !!
