Mailboxes from West Sacramento

Ugly Mailbox June 12th, 2008

Barbara S. from My West Sacramento Photo of the Day sent in a picture featured on her blog last week.

Mailbox Row

These rows of mailboxes are fairly common in rural areas but what struck me about this picture is second redheaded stepchild of a mailbox. Not only is it completely rust covered, but it seems to have a “Hello My Name Is” sticker on it rather than vinyl numbers. It’s as if whoever owns it has said f’ keeping up with the Joneses.

Hey look kids, there’s Big Ben…

Unusual Mailbox June 9th, 2008

The latest Witles’ creation and coincidentally I’m posting it a week before I go on my own European vacation!

Fishing Lure Mailbox

Marine Mailbox November 5th, 2007

From Kathleen F. – The Junk Drawer

Hi — Found this mailbox in Bethlehem, PA. It’s ugly as sin, unless
you’re a fisherman. Feed me mail!

Fishing Lure Mailbox

I am not a fisherman or a fisherwoman. Fisherperson? Regardless, I agree, it’s ugly.

Safe Mailbox from Costas

Ugly Mailbox October 11th, 2007

From Costas at Mercedes Pens

This is an example of “secure” mail service. I got this beauty on a night photo raid because I felt “safer” taking this shot under cover of darkness. This is shotgun country and anyone paranoid enough to use a safe for the base of their mail box probably doesn’t want anyone taking a picture of it either. I am hooked on ugly mailboxes:)

Safe Mailbox

I can certainly relate to being in “shotgun country” and I appreciate your stealth photo shoot!
