Blog # 1631--- Day 1023 ( One Thousand and Twenty Three ) of the Current ( Second ) Russian Invasion of Ukraine
GLORY TO UKRAINE
Hello again. Well the postal strike in Canada continues. Today is day 28, so that makes 4 weeks today. No mail coming, no mail going and no postcards moving in or out of Canada. But I still have postcards on my desk that have not yet made it on The Blog, this blog.
My first card for this time arrived from Nairobi, Kenya. Titled , Fun In The Sun , as the old saying implies , these pictures do indeed tell a thousand words.
Ravindra used 2 copies of the same stamp on this card. Issued in 1993, it is 1 of 13 in a set of definitives featuring Birds. This stamp shows the African Fish Eagle.
Next up is this card from Andorra. It shows one side of the Church of Sant Marti de Nagol, located along a path from the village of Nagol in sant Julia de Loria. It was originally built in the 11th century. It was restored in the 20th century , preserving the side walls and the apse. The apse is the semicircular feature extending from the exterior , at the end of the church.
Josep and Assumpta used a nice large Spanish Andorra stamp from 2021 on this card.
Even though I live in a bi-lingual country, sadly I am not bi-lingual. So my comprehension of this next card from France most likely leaves a lot to be desired. I think it is advertising an awareness campaign against road risks , or a campaign for road safety, however you want to think. I hope I got that right.
Dominique used a stamp from 1970. It was issued to highlight the National Police.
Well there you have it, the end of another update. Thanks for todays cards go to Ravindra, Josep and Assumpta , and Dominique. Thanks guys.
