A Time Capsule for sure

This image is such a fantastic look at one second of Life that surely has changed many times in this exact spot on our planet. Such an amazing capture of that moment. I feel like I just crept up in a Tesla to see this right in front of me.

Neither snow nor rain nor heat

nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.

Neither how gravelly or dusty the road or how biological the vehicle.
