Normally you associate these mailboxes with country roads but here and there people have put them up in the city. These are on the side of a big old house that's been turned into apartments, like many of the character houses in Victoria. The thing that always strikes me about them is the numbering and I can't help but think to myself, "4,3,2,1 BLAST OFF!"

Situated on the far west coast of Canada, on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, Victoria is the capital city of the Province of British Columbia. Its benign climate (the warmest winters in Canada) and placid lifestyle make it a favorite retirement location as well as a popular tourist destination. About 400,000 people live in Victoria and adjacent communities.

Showing my 80s coming-of-age era, I see 4, 3, 2, 1 and think, 'earth below us, drifting falling, floating weighless, coming coming home' (Major Tom by Peter Schilling)
Very unusual to see those in the city.
One does not usually see these in the city. Nice capture!
