Dominique's Cards

BLOG # 1548   ---  Day 639 of the Pandemic 

Hello once again. I have three cards for this time and all of them were sent by Dominique, two from Italy and one from France. 

This first one gives us a look at The Palazzo Vecchio which is the town hall of Florence. It overlooks the Piazza delia Signoria, which holds a copy of Michelangelo's David statue. The Palazzo was founded in 1299 and completed in 1302. It stands 94 m high.  

The stamp on this one commemorates the 200th Anniversary of the Death of Napoleon Bonaparte in 1821. 

 

Dominique's second card is a look at Piazzale Michelango, a square with a panoramic view of Florence. It was created in 1869 and is a favourite spot to watch the sun go down. 

  

Here Dominique used a stamp from 2019. It commemorates the 30th Anniversary of the Death of Sergio Leone in 1989, the creator of the Spaghetti Western. Three of his films are A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More and The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Loved all of them.

 

Here is today's third card and the last for this time. A worker is working the salt marshes of Ile de Re, an island of the west coast of France.  

This card is adorned with a stamp from this current year. It highlights Pavillon France at Expo 2020 in Dubai, UAE. 

Well that was quick and easy, three cards and all sent by Dominique. Thank you so much Dominique. 

Covid-19 :   As I write this Covid has claimed 5,293,903  lives  worldwide -  how sad is that ? Guess we aren't the stronger species after all.
