A Mailman In A Postbox.

Enjoy the most extraordinary images,
of Postmen, postwomen throughout the globe
in this fantastic study.
Beautiful, lovely stuff,
(towards the bottom of the blog)

Found it searching for the artist "B Minne"
who illustrated the Monaco racing cars souvenir sheet from Daniel.

There's not much better than a sack lunch and a thermos of coffee

Great Images, Rod. Thanks.

Thanks Kirk.
don't those shoes of his, tell a story.

Looks like there is no park bench around. Great picture!

Hope he took my package out first, it was fragile!

Beautiful Photograph/Portrait

GoodoneRod!

I think that we have seen this Postman before.

Teaching a younger worker maybe? John

Hi John,
good to see you up and at 'em
and escaped all that queensland trouble.
I don't recall seeing this postie before ?
..or did I miss a joke ?,
I am usually the last to laugh when someone cracks jokes.
I have an extended delay conception switch.

An honest memory Rod! Yourightmate!

After 6883 posts some of them would be forgotten. lol

The image reminded of a post from some time ago.
Alass I can not find it in the corridors of SCF. John

Must be an old pic.
These days someone would snatch his bag and run.

I saw this thread and image when Rod first posted it and came across it again this morning. At the time I remember having a deja vu moment but it was a fleeting one. On seeing it this morning it came to me. That picture could be a Norman Rockwell painting on a Saturday Evening Post cover. It was the sort of scene he would chose. In my mind that postman even looks like he could have modeled for one of the characters in his paintings. Now was it the barber or was there a guy behind a lunch counter or .....

....or Rockwell himself?
they look very similar.

I have 25 rockwells on stamps, no posties.

Good eye Rod! Amazing likeness.

I flipped the postman around in this photo:

I just noticed that on the postman's face, the line formed on the side of his mouth from clenching his pipe does not appear on both sides of Rockwell's face. Hmmm! Artistic license, making the artist look better and who will say anything or notice, but a stamp collector!
