We don’t have mailboxes like this in the UK. It’s something I really associate with the US. This one looks very mysterious doesn’t it?! I could imagine your photo being a shot from an historical mystery story … a letter from the past … who knows it’s there? … there’s my fertile imagination running away now! 🙂
Exactly! It would be a very scary historical mystery, i think. I love Alabama countryside mailboxes like this. I always think that the stories behind them would be scary & sad. Thanks, Peggy! ~amy
When we visited America in 2012, it was the first time I saw what kudzu can do – strangling entire forests and enveloping houses in an impenetrably thick grey tangle. It is absolutely terrifying! Why anyone would deliberately plant it in their gardens is beyond me.
No one plants it. It was brought in to the U.S. to be used as feed for cattle, but it didn’t work. It grows up to two feet a day, it is terrifying. We’ve never had any close to us, thank God. I’ll bet Birmingham would be covered in Kudzo, if suddenly all the humans would be gone, within a month. ~amy
