This is not my own private mailbox, because mine is not interesting in any way. This one is very simply, very "boxy" , old , used and rusty, but still functional. From my point of view - it is the most romantic mailbox I´ve ever seen.
You can find it on the beach Flic en Flac (depicted below in these small photos), located on the west coast of island Mauritius. When I saw it for the first time, it was interesting. For the second time I cannot resist to make picture of it.

Wonderful job on this postbox! I love how the shadow falls on it.
Your other two photos are beautiful locations.
Jan, what a great drawing of the post box. Rusty and old are much more interesting that sparkling new! I also love the photos of the beach. What beautiful sand!
A very evocative little painting - I would like to open this mail box and see what letters are inside :)
