I am first today! I really like the primary blue and red as the main focus in this one. Speaking of post, have you heard of Postcrossing.com? It is a postcard exchange site where you can send and receive real snail-mail postcards to and from around the world. It's a lot of fun!

@Tracey: (from Ronnie) Thank you, Tracey. Yes, that Postcrossing idea looks interesting and I see they are approaching 1 million swaps!

That's quite a contrast. The UK has cooler mailboxes and phonebooths --or at least, used to-- I haven't been over there in awhile.

Great contrast. I have a friend visiting England right now. She is in Timble near Sheffield and when she arrived there a few days ago it was snowing. Summer must be right around the bend somewhere ;D

@Marion: (from Ronnie) Thanks, Marion. Yes, we had a light dusting of snow in London a day or so back but they have had more further north.

Mailboxes and letters are in my list of favourite things. I think they are in the same category of pleasant things and places such as happy songs, sad songs, other songs, bicycles, trains and raylway stations, airports and plains, ships and harbours, homing pigeons, lighthouses and dreams. I loved this post-to-post.

Killer color ... instantly recognizeable ... was it the song that inspired today's theme?

The colors are great - as well as the contrasting shapes. Another great shot...

I love most of all the cropping so that the postboxes almost look like pedestrians passing each other. I like how lively the image is because of this particular feature.
