GLORY TO UKRAINE
Hello once again. I have a few more cards for you to peruse. First up today is a card from Chang Sha City , China. It's a look at the Du Fu Riverside Tower. This pavilion is located in Chang Sha's Hedong District, near the West Lake Bridge at the intersection of Central Xiangjiang Road and Xihu Road. This antique architecture along the riverside was built to commemorate Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu. It is 18 metres high and was opened in September 2005. It houses a Souvenir shop, the Du Fu Memorial Hall, an exhibition hall and a reception hall.
A Postcrosser named He Jun sent this card along and used 3 stamps. I don't have much luck identifying Chinese stamps for some reason. I did find the top right stamp with the red symbols. It was issued in 2006 , a Happy New Year stamp. The other two, no luck with those.
My next card is from St Remy de Provence, France. Dominique's card shows the historic site and monument Les Antiques. It's a great view of the Triumphal Arch and Mausoleum. The Roman ruins include two monuments: the mausoleum (or cenotaph), dating from 30 to 20 BC, which has an unusual structure, and the triumphal arch, dating from 20 CE, which is decorated with bas-reliefs depicting Caesar's conquest of Gaul.
Dominique used a current 2025 stamp. It celebrates the French philosopher, economist and military officer Claude Henryi de Rauvroy. The stamp was issued on the 265th Anniversary of his birth.
Here's another card from Northern Cyprus. On this one we see Kyrenia Harbour which is under the de facto control of Northern Cyprus.
David's stamp is from this year and is 1 of 2 in a Europa set celebrating Archeology.
Now here's my last card for today. it's from Austria. Here we see Empress Elizabeth, the most beloved and famous empress of Austria. Elisabeth (Elisabeth Amalie Eugenie; German: 24 December 1837 – 10 September 1898),] was Empress of Austria and Queen of Hungary from her marriage to Franz Joseph I on 24 April 1854 until her assassination 1898. While travelling in Geneva in 1898, Elisabeth was fatally stabbed in the heart by an Italian anarchist named Luigi Lucheni.
Chris used a recent definitive Hat stamp on his card.
The End for this time. Thanks today go out to He Jun, Dominique, David, and Chris.
Take care till next time.
