Stavanger is the fourth biggest city in Norway. It is situated on the southwest coast.
My aim is to try to capture something from every day, from the area nearby too, and when I am not at home I will still try to put up a photo from my archive.
Welcome back for another look.

A Norwegian post box, bright and red, is what we use for outgoing post. (Yellow boxes for local mail)
These days most people use e-mail, but it is nice to get a letter or a postcard too.
Our boxes are blue. In France, as I recall they were yellow. Yours are red. I wonder why that is. Can't we agree on anything! ;-)
The US Postal Service is having a tough time financially, largely, I think because people are using the Internet to communicate. I can't remember when I last sent a snail mail letter to friends or family.
Ours here are yellow. As we are living technological times, Christmas is for us as well the only time we send snail mail. Times change, just remember 10 years ago...
I agree with you, it's nice getting a real, handwritten card or letter every once in awhile! I still write to my Gran as she does not use the internet.
Well, did I convince you to swop the photo with my little, humble comment? Sending compliments and comments and best wishes to your postbox, whatever color it is! Hilsen fra Hagen igen

ReplyDeleteOur boxes are red, can't remember last time I received a letter. I get mostly utilities bills!
ReplyDeleteAlways lovely to receive snail mail.
ReplyDeleteXmas has become unfortunately the only time we do write and receive handwritten mail!!
ReplyDeleteIt is so hard to find a mailbox anymore.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cheerful box, and something else that is orange!

ReplyDeleteThat mailbox looks orange not red. Are orange boxes for "fjord mail?!"
ReplyDeleteI will swop the photo with a better one, more RED, as soon as I have a new photo, taken in daylight without any strong street light! Ok? ;-)
