Kotor, Chemainus again, Veurne and a Ukrainian National Dress

 BLOG # 1538  --  DAY 594 of the Pandemic

Here we go again. I have a few more cards to have a look at. Today I am starting with a card from Ukraine. This one shows a young girl wearing a national costume of Pokuttia, an area in the southwestern part of modern Ukraine. 


Ann used a Coat of Arms definitive along with a round stamp from 2021. It was issued for the 2021 Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo. 



My second card for today arrived from Kotor, Montenegro. It's a bird's eye view of the city and area along with a a distanced look at Tivat Airport in the top left .  Close to 30 airlines operate out of Tivat Airlines, most of them on a seasonal basis. 


Jean Pierre used a couple of stamps on this one. The stamp on the left was issued in 2020 to commemorate the 75th Anniversary of the United Nations. The right stamp, also from 2020 commemorates the 100th Anniversary of the Birth of painter Aco Prijic. 


 

Now here's another card from Chemainus, and it was sent by My Lovely Teena. Chemainus - the little town that did , is alive with murals. They are all over town. This card shows a mural of the arrival of H.M.S. Reindeer in Horseshoe Bay, now called Chemainus Bay. 


 

My Lovely Teena used the 2020 Diwali stamp and got a nice Chemainus cancellation. 


Next up is this card showing the central market square and town hall of Veurne, a city in northwestern Belgium, near the French border. 





Johan sent this card along. He has a great postcard blog, you'll enjoy checking it out. Here's how  , click on this . Big stamp on this one . It is 1 of 5 in a minisheet showing Architecture of Public Swimming Pools. 


So ends another blog. Thanks for today's cards go out to  Ann, My Lovely Teena, Jean Pierre and Johan. 

The pandemic is still around big time. Take all the care and caution you can and remember vaccines work and so do masks.
