Day 1657 ( That's One Thousand Six Hundred and Fifty Seven Days ) Since the Start of the Current ( Second ) Russian Invasion of UKRAINE .
GLORY TO UKRAINE
Hi there, sorry about the big orange thing on my last update. This is the second time that has happened. I hope it is the last. Even though yesterday was Labor Day I hope everyone enjoyed a great day . All the workers and retired workers out there deserve that.
My first card for today arrival from Funchal, Portugal. I guess the card shows the view a bird might have if flying over Cristiano Ronaldo International Airport . The Madeira Airport was renamed after Ronaldo on March 29th, 2017.
Jean Pierre used a Cristiano Ronaldo stamp from 2017.
- My next card is from Germany and is a great look at Schloss Herrenchiemsee , a Royal Palace. It was built by King Ludwig II of Bavaria.
Dominique used a 2026 stamp featuring Queen Elizabeth II. It celebrated the occasion of Her birth 100 years ago in 1926.
Now here is a card from Nosy Be, Madagascar. Nosy Be is an island off Madagascar’s northwestern coast. In the southeast, the forests of Lokobe Reserve shelter chameleons, geckos and frogs. The capital, known as Hell-Ville, has French colonial buildings and a covered market. Lemuria Land is home to a variety of lemurs, plus reptiles. Also in the park is a 19th-century distillery still used to extract essential oils from the native ylang-ylang tree.
David used a 2014 stamp showcasing a Lemur.
Time now for a card from Rotterdam in the Netherlands. Hans sent this card showing a February 1936 Vanity Fair cover showing a Bali beauty.
The stamp on this card is a Postcrossing stamp issued for 20 Years of Postcrossing.
So ends another update. Thanks for these cards go out to Dominique, David Hans and Jean Pierre.
See you all next time.
