A very unusual assembly of objects here Tick. The bale of straw. the deeply buried post and the mail box make for a very unusual combination. Trust you to find something like this. I am stumped but must say that it is amusing and unusual.

I'm surprised all the insulators haven't been stolen, Tick. It's either that, or used for target practice, depending on how remote.
Certainly innovative and a conversation piece.

I've heard of electronic mail but this is ridiculous..I bet he gets a shock when the bills come in..Good'un...R.

Oh I love it, what a great find, I am surprised that the insulators are still there. Tigz =^..^=

Let's see the Plow take that one Down... I should have Thought of this, Years ago! Tough to find the Old insulating Glass in these Parts nowadays! Nice find and Presentation, Tick!!

It says approved by the postmaster general. Does that mean the mailbox, or everything else, too? Pretty neat shot, Tick.

Cool find and shot Tick. I am also surprised the insulators are still there. I see it's braced for just about anything .

Well I like it! Its cool and unique even if its surrounded by weeds...lol...Wonderful find and capture Tick!!!

Only in the country will you find little treasures like this...mainly because we have nothing else better to do! Nice capture!

I love your new e-mail address Tick! I can see that your technology is state of the art! I don't decorate my mailbox, but like to see what others do with theirs. Very nice shot and find buddy! Also love the big old bale behind the mailbox.

I can see a new e-mail addy in this

Bit dangerous putting yer hand in a metal post box here...you would be shocked at what you receive!

Extraordinary, witty and very funny shot, Tick. Is this your entry? LOL

Great find,Very creative, Ron.
Stunning shot !

Can't say I've ever seen a mailbox post like that one before...I suppose if there's ever downed lines in that area, and the local utility is real hard-up for equipment, it's ready for hook-up...

Unusual image, Cap'n...Faved...

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ...........

I dunno... I'm thinking more like "gmail"... as in glass. I've seen a lot of unique mailbox posts in my many travels around my state but I can't say I've ever seen anything like this. Made me grin.

Nice sharp image. I like the scene. Those glass phone pole toppers are now antiques and used as decorations. I remember when they used to decorate the poles. You are a mailbox watcher I can see. Some pretty neat ones out there.

What a marvelous find and capture, love the idea they used the old telephone pole

Good find got my fave.

One in a million find. Like the perspective and the close up. Somebody there has a great sense of humor.

You are too good! Love it!

Tick - It appears that the telescoping pole can head to the sky to get airmail too! A most unusual find presented well with the farmland background. Thad

I'm sorry I missed this image earlier, but in my defense I had the spam filter turned on. Good clarity, colours and lighting in the photo. A nice perspective on this interesting find, Tick.

This mailbox would give my husband some ideas ... he says I spend too much time emailing & messaging. Cool find, Tick & suberbly presented.

Cool post Tick. Is it high speed or regular dial up.
