Texas Panhandle Rural Mailboxes
In today's era with technology and the internet, the need for actual mailboxes is rapidly becoming a thing of the past. In my town there is no mailperson except to the houses in the country. Everyone in town has a P.O. box.

Not sure, but I think I may like it with these soft tones. You know in Germany it is so cool for them to get an American mail box. You don't realize it till you leave the States how much a bit of Americana they are.

I often wonder why mailboxes & bicycles are so photogenic. Here, the dark sky, the soft colors, the emptiness, and the triple proof that someone must be somewhere around makes this picture mysteriously attractive. Nice photo.

Wow, although the b&w gives it that dust-bowl, "Grapes of Wrath" sort of intense authenticity.......I really like this one too! I just can't decide which one I like better.....
