Help Obtaining Photos

Postby Jst83 » Tue Jun 09, 2009 2:49 pm

I've been putting together a collection of photo's of odd mailboxes (see examples below) and thought hey why not enlist the help of others from other towns, states and even countries in my quest. I hope to put the collection together one day in a book. If you have any odd mailboxes in your area and have free time I'd love a picture emailed to me to add to the collection anything that you feel is different would be great. I'd be glad to add you as the contributor if/when I take it to the next step.

Thank you for your help if you choose to, or thank you for taking the time to read this and help keeping this forum a place that people keep wanting to come back.

Some of my favorites

These are from another website so you probably can't use them but I thought they were interesting

I wonder if anyone has a teardrop shaped one?? :thinking:

I was wondering why the water balloon was getting bigger... and then it hit me.

Very neat but you're right probably shouldn't use them just wouldn't be the same.

Took a bit to find this thread again...
Here you go. I drive by this regularly and finally stopped and took a picture.

I am emailing an un-cropped original size.

Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.

You probably already used the Google image search features. I could post a lot of funny ones to fill up this thread. However, you might want to look at this blog.

I don't think you have to be a free member to view them. If you geocache, just use your geocaching info to sign in.
