Postbox tunnel




This interested me, my daughter and I were walking back this alleyway in Paihia recently next to the post office and along the walls are hundreds of postboxes that people rent to receive their mail.

I had to snap quickly because there was a man coming through the door at the end but the eye view and concept got my attention.

I like the idea and that they made them red to brighten up the alleyway and I like that you noticed and captured the interesting angle as well

All the residents must have a box. Easy work for the postman. Like Tigger, where's the church?

Grace Brothers

  We have 2 new chickens, both black ladies. If any of you are familiar with British comedy tv shows you will recognize the names we have given them. This one is named Miss Brahms. And this one is named Mrs Slocombe. At the moment we have them in a temporary shelter next to the Special Patrol Group that we've had for the last 9 months just so they can get to know each other before we intigrate the black ones in with the brown ones. These ones give us a white coloured egg whereas the brown shavers give us brown coloured eggs. Linking up with  Tuesday Treasures ,  Happy Tuesdays  and   Wordless Wednesday .

The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...
