N/Alphabe-Thursday

Smile: you are on Candid Camera!

N is for NIKON

We had to back up to take this photo...even though I shoot with a Canon. (A little joking rivalry here: Canon vs. Nikon...and I'm really not sure which brand is better.)  The Nikon is at the side of the road because...

Rural delivery!

it's a mailbox. Hmmmm. I wonder if the owner is a blogger.

    that is so neat. Never seen one like that before. Have noticed a few mail boxes down in our area, because the bloody snow plows have knocked them over!! Better not touch mine!

    What a fabulous mailbox. I'm sure lots of people take photos of it. I've got a Canon and a Nikon (recent purchase).

    What GREAT photos of a great mailbox. I've seen many along rural roads and some city sidewalk but never one as inventive as this. Get right back there and find out who this photographer might be!

    A terrific find. I've never seen a Nikon mailbox before but I like it as I shoot mostly with Nikon (and a couple of Canons)...

    The owner may not be a blogger but is certainly creative and I'd bet is a photographer!

    What a fun mailbox! This reminds me of one out in the country on the way to my sisters house. Someone put a mailbox up very very high on a telephone pole and labeled it "AIRMAIL" :)

    I join in the chorus -- fantastic shot. Because you shoot with a Canon, go home and make your version of this.

    I'm a Canon girl too but I just bought one of the new super-duper Nikon Coolpix. Can't wait to try it out. 42X zoom. I may never wag a heavy camera and a bag of lenses around again!

    I like that mailbox, Ms. E.G.T.B
    It wouldn't work in the U.S. because it is not of an 'approved' type or manufacturer.

    My camera is a pocket Sony, my second. I also had a Kodak pocket camera. Each lasted for a little over 10,000 pictures.
