Hey, photo enthusiasts and cultural explorers!

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

Mailboxes or postboxes 📪📮

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 Paper mail has been replaced by emails and text messages.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!

Challenge Details

Take 1 ‒ 3 clear, engaging photos of mailboxes or postboxes from your area and create a simple article. Share your location and tell us 2-3 short paragraphs about this item, and drop the link in the comments. Use the hashtag #SameButDifferent to join our community.

Help us spread the word with links and reblogs! Share it with friends, photo lovers and anyone who enjoys discovering cultural diversity through everyday objects.
