April Theme Day: A Public Mail Box

April Theme Day: A Public Mail Box
This Public Mail Box is legacy from Dutch colonial. As written on the box, it was made on year 1919. Nowadays, Indonesia’s Post provide Mail Box for some location with new design. Personally, I prefer to “1919” design. It’s cool. Formerly, I had posted a public Mail Box on 2006 November Theme Day.

65 Daily Photo sites are participating in the 1st April theme, "A Public Mail Box", please use the links to below to visit them.

Due to time zone differences and other factors, the theme photo may not be displayed until later if you are viewing early in the day.

It seems the consensus around the world is older post boxes preferable; do you agree?

It's beautiful mail box. So is that "Something that is about to disappear soon" as well? I hope it's there for much longer!
