This photo (that I coloured) shows me, in Leeuwarden (Netherlands), at, what is probably my first postbox "visit". Perhaps I am posting a letter for my mother, because I don't think I already wrote cards -even less, sent out mail art- at the age of 3 or 4, beginnings of the 50ies.

Well the times look good, but if they really collect at that time could be another story.  I did notice that there was no pick up at 12:30 during lunch.

Ah yes, Sri Lanka might have been one of those places.  Thanks for pointing this out.

If the times are to be believed that's a wonderfully efficient service, but the post boxes look very like recycling bins to me! I have read in catalogues of places where stamps were issued without gum, as otherwise the humid atmosphere would stick all the sheets together.

My visit to a Post Office in Sri Lanka's posh city of Nuwara Eliya.  Often called Sri Lanka's Little England.

Looks very organised.

For out of town mail

For those other places

And look at these pickup times.  Pure Heaven!

A brush, glue and water wheel at your service.  What more could you ask for? The international rate for my mail art was €0.15 euros ($0.19 cents USD).  Heaven for Mail Artists!

Yes, there is a group all about "postboxes"...or mail boxes :-)

Edmund Hippo likes the yellow Greek boxes:

Here in Wivenhoe one pillar box outside the Post Office was not enough so we have two, one thin and one fat. Some people thought they look like Laurel & Hardy.
