My goodness this is so fun to see!! It's a unique mailbox, and the fushia hanging over it is gorgeous!! This is delightful with all it's textures to absorb and the colors are perfect!!

I'd give this a 10 if I could rate it.

All those mail box's are still in use and mail collected every day, with the exception of the red one, which is located in a theme park.

Thanks Cooler, all post box's are green in Ireland since our Independence.

Great series on letter boxes. My guess is that one day these boxes will become redundant so treasure them while they are here!

Fantastic series. I am happy that I am not the only one who photographs odd things.....do people look at you as if you are nuts??? I was asked one day ..."what are you doing? Have I missed something? "

Nice series! This one is the best for me! I'd like to have such mailbox too (it's a pity I live in city in multistorey apartment house:(

Tee hee Heather - I'm with you on that one. I think my neighbors have all had a meeting about me - the crazy new girl on the block...you know...the one that's always laying in the ditch at 7:am taking photos of frost??

I am really enjoying these series, Joe! I love mailboxes, I must get out and get some shots! You're inspired a new project!

Yes you are correct Urko. Since I took those pictures on of those box's has become redundant. Many of Ireland's small post offices are also closing down.

Yes h43, people often wonder, especially if they see me taking fungus or wild mushrooms or just windows. But photography is a facinating hobby.

Thank you Lelka. I understand my friend, there is a company that sell replica mail box's as well. Thanks for the nice comments :)

Thank you Jenylew. In Ireland lots of those are dissapearing as well as some of the country post offices. Them make nice pictures, you can see more of my letter box's here:
