Description
A stand of mailboxes on a country road always amuses and fascinates me. I immediately begin to think of the people collecting their mail and wondering what surprises the mail will bring. This wonderful collection was captured on a rural road in Alaska.
Roadside mailboxes are an important part of communications in the U.S. and seem to be slowly disappearing in favor of the Postal Service's "Cluster Boxes". However, there are literally millions still in use and many of these have much individual character. They are a fixture of Rural Free Delivery that's been offered by the USPS since the late 1800s.
