Hey again, here are the last cards received for this year. We'll start with this beautiful card from Colombo, Sri Lanka. It's a great look at the 365 m high Colombo Lotus Tower.
Ravindra used a matching stamp on his card. Beautiful card - beautiful stamp.
Today's second card is from Barcelona, Spain. Here we see the village of Os de Civis. The village of just 125 people is located in the central Pyrenees mountains.
Os de Civis is unique in that it is the only Spanish village that can be reached by vehicle only by going through Andorra. The border crossing is also unique in Andorra, in that there is no border control.
Josep & Assumpta sent this card along and used a quite large stamp issued in 2019. It Commemorates the 25th Anniversary of the Casa de America. Strangely the 25th anniversary happened in 2017 but the stamp arrived in 2019.
Here it is - last card for this time, last card for the month, last card for the year and many say - but not everyone - last card for the decade.
It's from France and of course it's an Aircraft / Airline card. What better to end with ?
It's a Corsair A330 --- F-HCAT shown landing at Toulouse in June of 1999. This aircraft is 20.6 years old and has been with Corsair all that time.
Jean Pierre used a Marianne definitive along with a 2019 stamp highlighting Book Binding,
There you have it - another year in the life of GemsWorldPostcards . The year brought me 447 postcards and a good number of them have showed up here on the blog. Thanks for today's cards go out to Ravindra, Josep & Assumpta and Jean Pierre.
I want now to wish A Happy New Year 2020 to one and all. May it bring peace, good health and prosperity to all of you. Cheers !
