Plymouth’s famous ancient Barbican, the place where the Pilgrim Fathers left Europe to sail to America for religious freedom, is almost timeless, especially in the morning when there a few cars and people around. There’s a quality to this place that gives a real sense of history and rootedness (made up word:)), but you all know what I mean. The Red Pillar Postbox is an iconic British emblem, and they are dotted all over the country and different parts of the world too. I’d feel really sad if these snail-mail receivers were abandoned. Captured in all it’s glory: The Red Postbox. Photo captured with a Nikon D40x and 18-55mm lense. / Barbican Morning Light.

FEATURED IN THE POST BOX look at this aged post box do you remember when you had to pick up a pen and find some writing paper depending upon who you were going to write to would determine which writing paper you would use i often write a letter to a very favorite aunt of mine i am forever putting it off writing with pen and paper these days it is always worth the effort for when i push the envelope into the mouth of the post box there is always a feeling of contentment knowing that my elderly aunt will have a smile on her face once she recieve the letter. So dont forget the old way of communication make one of your favorite people smile in a few days time THE POST BOX
How is that for a mail box? Even a hole for the newspaper and a seperate place for the letters. Had to stop and make a photo. Found along the road in the bush on the NW Coast of Tasmania. / / . / Move along Piggy Mailbox / / . / Locomotive mailbox /
