Please Mr. Postman

Wherever I travel I try to capture images of post boxes and letter boxes. These brightly colored boxes can be quite different in many different parts of the world and it has been a sort of unwritten, background activity of mine whenever I'm traveling. So when I spot a post box I grab an image for what purpose I just don't know .... call it a letter box fetish! So here I have decided to collate all my most beautiful post box images and post them (pun intended) here on my blog.

Heart of Christmas

Our tree this year is looking especially good as we managed to get a real pine which not only looks great but smells good too. Hopefully by Christmas morning the tree will be brimming with gifts and parcels, assuming of course I have been a good boy and Santa has included me in his rounds.

Red TNT Post Box

For some reason I collect photos of post boxes. Everywhere I travel I always note new and different designed post boxes and capture an image to add to my collection. This long oblong TNT post box was seen in Amsterdam, Netherlands. TNT N.V. is an international express and mail delivery services company with headquarters in Hoofddorp, Netherlands. In the Netherlands, TNT operates the national postal service under the name TNT Post. The group also offers postal services in eight other European countries, including the UK, Germany, Italy and Belgium. TNT's mail division recorded sales of about €4.2 billion in 2009.

Colombo Post Box

Wherever I travel I usually collect some photos of post boxes. Don't ask me why ... I just like post boxes and some of the designs you find in various countries are rather unique. In most cases you will find post boxes to be bright red but in Colombo, Sri Lanka this one was a bright emerald green which is a little different.
