Laurie, in South Pasadena, California, has posted exactly the same mailbox as the one above. Isn't that fascinating...the same box all those miles apart.

The mailbox in the second photo looks more like a bird house.

ReplyDeleteVery nice mailboxes. I've never seen mailboxes with chimneys. Wonderful and unique. Great shots for this theme day.
ReplyDeleteLovely mailboxes, have a great month Jilly.
ReplyDeleteI love the second one! Horses can often be seen on old fashion boxes. The italian ones are always beautyful!

What a pretty mailbox and that's too cool that another just like it was posted, makes the world feel small and cozy!
ReplyDeleteI gasped when I saw that you had commented on my blog. You are like a celebrity to me! Your daily photo blogs are my favorite. I appreciate the variety of your subjects and all of the information that you pass along with your photography. When I read your blogs I feel like I have actually traveled with you. So fun!
wow the fact that Laurie posted the same one at the other half of the world is awesome!
ReplyDeleteI love old mailboxes all shapes and sizes and colors you show a nice mix here very good photo's love the red mail box stuffed with letters..

Wonderful catches for the theme, Jilly. I would guess there are many charming mailboxes in your beautiful part of the world as you have so often shown us with windows, entrances, house numbers, walls, byways and such. Love it all. Thank You!
ReplyDeleteEach of these has such distinct character. Wonderful choices, Jilly. And thank you for the link back to Brattleboro (through Gorbio).
ReplyDeleteI see that the 'house' theme is quite popular in mailboxes... Yours are excellent!
ReplyDeleteHard to pass up the rouge one but I"m in love with the top mailbox!!!! I'm going to see LA's right now too! :)

ReplyDeleteJilly, this is TOO COOL! Sharing the same mailbox from around the globe. Don't you LOVE City Daily Photo???
ReplyDeleteYou found some great, unusual mailboxes!

Great mailboxes. Each unique in their own way.
ReplyDeleteI would love to live in a place where the first mailbox would not look out of place, Jilly. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteJilly, I love all three, but when I saw the first one I thought that it looked like my neighbor's box... I will have to check it out in the daylight!
ReplyDeleteI am crazy for the red one but the setting of that first is beautiful.

Truly fascinating that the same mailbox was posted in such different locations.
ReplyDeleteAmazing things we encounter thanks to these blogs!!
