Collateral damage inflicted by my passion for stamp collecting is my arcane collection
of photographs related only tenuously to philately. Recent travel has expanded
this collection to include the following, which I am not forcing anyone to view and
which Stamporama's steroid-inflated censors may delete at their pleasure.
Located in Arles, France, and filed with my collection of vintage mailboxes.
Parked in Sarlat, France. Although the letter-carrier
declined to pose with her bicycle, she admitted it was
the perfect vehicle for navigating the narrow, contorted
streets and alleys of the old inner city.
The only PO in Monaco.
The only mailbox I could find in Monacoand it was attached to the only PO. From this vantage point I was able
to confirm the universal observation that, "In Monaco, no one drives
a bottom-of-the-line Ferrari."
Let me tell Stamporama members what they already know; mail boxes are
an endangered species, as are post offices (which have already disappeared from the
Netherlands landscape.)

letter boxes remain a constant in the States. Outside my office, within the span of 50 feet, are three, which, depending on the time, are often filled beyond capacity.

Interesting to note the warning on the bottom of the letterbox in the first photograph.
It reads (in French) "Do not throw (out) your newspapers in this box".
Neat!

Wow, John, that's a good one. Never thought of myself that way, but if that is how I am perceived, so be it, I'll try to live up to that high standard in the future.

Nice pictures. Keep collecting these pictures of mail boxes as in years to come they may not be any mail boxes on the streets anywhere.

Hi John,
Nice pictures and wow, that is a fancy bike. With auxiliary electro motor which comes in handy when going uphill.
Mailboxes are also on the decrease here in the Netherlands, because the amount of mail is decreasing. They are removed under the euphemistic slogan "to improve our service to you", which is a way of putting it that goes far beyond my capability of logical reasoning.

I have no problem believing that if any of our members are taking steroids, it for valid geriatric medical reasons and not to inflate anything at all.
