Hello again - I have four cards for today. They arrived from Luxembourg, Seychelles, Canary Islands and the Bahamas. Let's start with the card from Luxembourg. I's a multi-view card showing a ferry, grapes and birds in a park, in Remich.  This is a commune with town status in south-eastern Luxembourg with a population of 3,645 inhabitants as of 2018. It is the capital of the canton of Remich. Remich lies on the left bank of the river Moselle, which forms part of the border between Luxembourg and Germany. 

Meelis used 3 stamps on his card. On the left, from 2001 is a of 6 in a set showing Euro Coins. The middle stamp was issued in 2013 and is from a set of 3 Wild Cats. The issue was a SEPAC issue. SEPAC is Small European Postal Administration Cooperations. The larger stamp on the right was issued last year, 2021. It is 1 of 4 Charity stamps, showing the Luxembourg Moselle Region. The extra tax of 0.15 was used to tackle the cost of flooding in the area in July 2021. 

  

My next card is a nice addition to my Aircraft / Airlines on Postcards collection. Here we have an Air Seychelles Shorts 360 , registered as S7-PAL. A Shorts 360 is a fixed wing multi engine Turbo-prop aircraft. It was in service with Air Seychelles from Aug 2002 until Apr 2010. The picture shows it landing at Praslin Island Airport in Grand Anse.  

Jean Pierre used 3 stamps on this one. On the left , from 1991, 1of 4 in a Christmas set showing Woodcuts. The middle stamp was issued in 1989, 1 of 4, Commemorating the 25th Anniversary of the Seychelles People`s United Party. The right stamp is 1 of 10 issued in 1988 for the Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea. 

Now from the Seychelles we go to the Canary Islands. The card shows a row of houses with balconies located on Maritime Avenue in Santa Cruz de la Palma. 

David sent this card along. His first stamp, on the left is a 2020 Christmas stamp. The right stamp is from 2021. It is 1 of 2 showing civic values - Recreation, Sport and Standing Against Child Poverty.  

Here`s another Flags of the World card, this time it`s The Bahamas. 

This is another card from Jean Pierre, and it arrived with three stamps. The aviation themed stamp on the left was issued in 1971, 1 of 15 in a set of different motifs.  The middle stamp, from 2012 is 1 of 16 showing Marine Life. The last stamp on the right , issued in 2016 marks the 90th Anniversary of the Birth of Queen Elizabeth II. 

That`s the four cards for today. Thanks for them go out to Meelis, Jean Pierre and David. 

Hope you enjoyed seeing them and reading about them. Drop by again soon.
