Blog # 1625--- Day 920 of the Current ( Second ) Russian Invasion of Ukraine
GLORY TO UKRAINE
Well I`m back , it`s been a few days for sure. I`m really hoping to be here on a more regular basis for the next two months at least. We`ll see how it goes. I have lots of cards, lots of time , so those can`t be excuses. So here we go .
My first card today arrived from France and shows the Chateau de Peyrepertuse. This ruined castle, built in the 13th century, is located high in the French Pyrenees in Rouffac -des-Corbieres.
Dominique`s card arrived without a stamp. Since the cancellation is fully visible, i guess the stamp must have fell off before it was applied.
Card 2 for today arrived from Germany, and is the latest entry in my Airlines and Aircraft Card collection. This time it is a B737 registered as 5N-MJE with Arik Air of Nigeria. This aircraft had its first flight on September 24, 2007 and was then delivered to Arik Air on October 25, 2007. It later flew with NG Eagle of Nigeria from February 2021 until it was stored in December of 2021.
Arik Air was founded in 2004 and operates from Lagos and Abuja.
Isa used a 2023 Jimi Hendrix stamp along with a Flower definitive.
This next card is from Dubrovnik, a city in southern Croatia fronting the Adriatic Sea. It has a distinctive Old Town encircled with massive stone walls dating from the 16th century.
David used a 2020 stamp.It is 1 of 3 in a set showing Natural Wonders.
Here is my final card for this time. It`s from France. It shows one of the earliest Gothic cathedrals of France, illuminated at night. Lumieres de Sens is an original sound and lights show, projected onto the Saint - Etienne Cathedral in Sens.
Jean Pierre used a 2023 stamp celebrating a Hundred Years of Disney.
There you have it , another update on GemsWorldPostcards. Thanks for reading. Thanks to Dominique, Isa, David and Jean Pierre for their cards.
