Hey there, it's another good day to be inside, what with light snow flurries, a temperature of -19 C and wind chill of -31 C. So let's warm up with a few postcards.
My first one for today arrived from Cape Town, South Africa. It's a classic view of Table Mountain as seen from Bloubergstrand, a small suburb of Cape Town. Bloubergstrand means blue mountain beach in Afrikaans. The main feature of Table Mountain is the level plateau approximately 3 km from side to side. The highest point of Table Mountain is at 1,084.6 meters above sea level.
Bruce used a stamp from 2018. It shows 1 of the Big 5, a White Rhinoceros. It covers the Airmail Postcard rate.
My second card arrived from Changi Airport, Singapore. Changi Airport is always at the head of World Airport Awards. It is currently rated the World's Best Airport for the seventh consecutive year since 2013.
Jean Pierre used a Butterfly stamp showing the Common Rose Butterfly. It marks the 50th Anniversary of Diplomatic Relations between Singapore and Philippines.
Here's a card from Germany. I don't know about Germany, but we don't see many goatherders over this way. Looks like a pretty relaxing job though. I'm surprised to see a goatherder on a postcard.
Brunhilde used a Freedom of the Press stamp, issued this year.
This next card , arrived from Czech Republic and is a little strange, at least the picture. It shows the 2003 Michael Kvium painting Pale Painting. Not my choice in painting, but what do I know ?
Justin used a 2019 Mahatma Gandhi stamp.
It's last card time. This one arrived from Ukraine. It's a look at Kamianets-Podilskyi Castle, which dates back to the 12th to 13th centuries. It is located in the town of the same name.
Lana used a 2019 stamp commemorating the 145th Anniversary of the U.P.U.
Well that's the end of another update. Thanks for today's cards go out to Bruce, Jean Pierre, Justin, Brunhilde and Lana. Take care and WASH Your Hands and Don't Touch Your Face . BE SAFE
