Most Likely the Last Cards for August

Well August has just about come and gone. Today's title implies this is the last for this month, but who knows what tomorrow will bring. We'll just have to wait and see.
Today , let's start with Ravindra's card from Sihanoukville, Cambodia. This is a coastal city and features the country's best known beaches. Ravindra's card shows us monks , resting after a long morning along Ochheuteal and Serendipity Beaches.

Ravindra used a nice stamp from 2017. It shows a Cangzhou Iron Lion, 1 of 2 in a set and a Joint Issue with China.

Be sure to check out Ravindra's postcard blogs. His blog about trains on postcards, called " Discover the World on Trains " can be found right here .  He has another one about lighthouses on postcards.


My second card is from the Principality of Andorra. Its capital , Andorra La Velle is the highest capital in Europe at 1,013 meters above sea level. The card , one of the " Greetings From/ Flags of the World  series " gives lots of information about the country . Andorra's postal services are not operated by the country itself, but by Spain and France. This card was sent through the Spanish system. 

This is a card sent by Josep & Assumpta as they live not far from Andorra. The stamp on the left is from 2002 , and celebrates the History of the Automobile and shows a Rolls Royce. The other stamp, from 2015 commemorates the 30th Anniversary of the Adoption of the Legal Age to 18.

Josep & Assumpta also have a wonderful postcard blog located  here .


This next card arrived from Taiwan, but looking at it, one might think it's from France. The card displays the Eiffel Tower 1889 by Georges Seurat. He was a French painter who lived from 1859-1891.

A Postcrosser named Cherry sent this card along. She used 2 stamps from 1992 and 1 from 2016. The 2 Mammals stamps are from a set of 4. The stamp on the right , also from a set of 4 showing Fruits.

     Now it's a card from Thailand showing Friendship Bridge. It is the first bridge across the Mekong River in the northeast Nongkhai region. It was officially opened on April 8, 1944 and is 1,174 m in length. 

Again this is another Postcrossing card. Heart who hails from Chiang Mai is the sender. As is often the case with cards from Thailand, this one arrived with a fine selection of stamps. The 2 stamps on the left are from this year. The first one commemorates the 45th Anniversary of Diplomatic Relations with Romania. It is a Joint Issue with Romania. The 2nd stamp commemorates the 60th Anniversary of Diplomatic Relations with Turkey. It also is a Joint Issue with Turkey. The small stamp in the middle is 1 of 4 in a 2009 set celebrating New Year 2010. The 2 stamps on the right date from 2017. They are 2 of a set of 6 showing Thai Desserts.

There you have it, today's four cards. Thanks for them go out to Ravindra, Josep & Assumpta, Cherry and Heart.
Take care, hope you enjoyed today's cards and stamps.
