Get ready for our Same But Different challenge, where we show objects that are commonplace to us but may seem unusual and interesting to people on the other side of the world.
The theme of this round is
I realize that this task might be challenging in today's world. Who actually sends letters or postcards? Paper mail has been replaced by emails and text messages. Even when we travel on vacation, we don't send postcards to friends, but instead share photos on social networks.
Show us the mailboxes from your corner of the world (or the ones you’ve spotted on your travels). Curbside boxes in the suburbs, bright red ones on a busy street, or an old cast-iron relic on a village square. You can send photos of both outgoing mailboxes and the ones used for receiving mail. Every photo can be interesting, and every story adds something new.
Go for it!
