Looking at mail boxes can be as interesting as watching people or trees in my case. You can sometimes guess the person behind the mail box, but a lot of times, they don't project at all.
Nevertheless, they are interesting as they perch on a fence or a pedestal of its own.
Some mail boxes serve a community as they look like a condominium when stuck all together!
Mail boxes are mail boxes and should serve only one thing- and that's quite obvious. And who would fancy mail boxes? Others, fancy jewelry, clothes, houses, paintings, buildings...
but I do! I love the humble mail boxes that I passed by in my trip to Northern California. Some stood singly, waiting for its purpose every day, alone. Others, stood on perches together like a flock of herons keeping each other company. (they are just in my memory though)
They wait for good news or hope for it. There was a time during the war when mail boxes brought news of doom and death.
Mail boxes are loyal, faithful to their duty- never leaving their post, come rain or sun.
In one of my walks, I passed by one that made me backtrack to see what I thought I saw. A mail box for sure but... you be the judge. This is so far my favorite (!!)
