Postbox Toppers (trying a grid layout)

Fancied the idea of arranging image thumbnails in a grid. Quickest / easiest way to do this was to ask an LLM to write the CSS and add in some useful comments for my learning and reference.

Post box Toppers out and about on my bike. First sighting by the post office was in 2012. Many more appeared during Covid. Not unusual to see these days. They’re a distinctly British tradition.

Knitted Noah’s Ark scene on a post box. The decoration includes a knitted ark with black and white zebras, a chicken perched on top, two people in raincoats and boots, and a crocodile. The display sits in front of a brick wall and leafy trees.

Two large knitted dolls dressed in swimsuits sitting on a red post box, one in turquoise and one in red, holding picnic items. A sign beneath them reads The Cosy Ladies Picnic Time, Knitted by members and friends of Eastry WI. The dolls are plump and cheerful, with detailed clothing and accessories, and are set against a street and building background.

A pirate-themed knitted scene atop a red post box. The display features multiple pirates, a treasure chest, a shark, a palm tree, and a mermaid with pink hair, all crafted with yarn and arranged on a blue crocheted base, with houses and a traffic light in the background.

Colourful knitted figures of children dancing around a maypole on the top of a red post box. Each child holds a ribbon extending from the pole; the green base is decorated with large knitted flowers. The background shows rooftops and a cloudy sky.

I think they’re great. I imagine a lot of laughs go into their creation.

Photos with different aspect ratios are clearly not an ideal example of the grid layout. All the same I’m happy it works in the way it does.
I have some photos from a bike ride I did last year to the lighthouse on Cape Wrath. That’ll give me something to play with over the weekend.
