DP Theme Day: A Public Mail Box

Ol' Blue in Black and White
This month's Daily Photo theme day is "a public mail box." There are no creative or otherwise unique public mail boxes in Stayton... just the standard things like the one above. They're all postal service blue, which is why I posted the photo in black and white. A bit of variation, I suppose.
Speaking of variation, back in October I posted a photo of some post office boxes, which are, in effect, private mail boxes in a public place.

This is stunningly good B&W photography: sharp, beautiful balance of tones. It makes an ordinary subject jump off the screen.

I love it! The B&W treatment is perfect for the theme.
wow! this is the most stunning so far. showing off the various textures with b/w
indeed the b&w rendering brings out the detail
Do I confess the first time I saw a post box in the US, I thought it was a rubbish bin?
Great photo!
Celine,
This photo is superb. An excellent treatment for theme day variety!

You write "no creative"? I don't agree with you, you made it very special! Bon dimanche!
elegant shot!!!
That box has character thanks to you.
very nice
Ham - that is just because you put your bills in it and think of it that way subconsiously. Excellent use of b&w I agree.
:P
i noticed the small legs of the mailbox, it reminds me the big belly fellow...
nice shot.

Nice tone. Very shiny box.
Like stlouismodailyphoto said, it's very good photo.
I like your October photo a lot. And thanks for the B&W image of the original. I was sure I would see blue all day in the US.
Awesome!
Classic - beautiful photo of a challenging subject!
very nice, I like the b&w effect.
