A Chapel, A Painting and a B737

BLOG # 1587 --- Day 320 of the Russian Invasion of Ukraine

                                                                   GLORY TO UKRAINE

Here we go again. Today's first card is from Cambridge, England. King's College is a constituent college of the University of Cambridge. Formally The King's College of Our Lady and Saint Nicholas in Cambridge, the college lies beside the River Cam and faces out onto King's Parade in the centre of the city. King's College was founded in 1441 by King Henry VI, and the foundation stone of its famous chapel was laid five years later. Altogether five kings contributed funding to the chapel over 90 years, with Henry VIII seeing its completion in 1536. The chapel is the focus of this card. 

Josep and Assumpta used a Pictorial Faststamp of winter greenery, this one shows Holly.

Unlucky enough to receive the dreaded pen cancel.

Next up is another card showing a painting by Polish artist Jacek Waltos. 

Agnieszka used a number of stamps here. On the left are 2 copies of a 2021 stamp featuring Polish hunter and naturalist Michal Jankowski. The other 2 are from a 2008 set of 4 featuring Polish Bridges. 

Card # 3 --- Here we have a TAROM B737 with registration of YR-BGA, on approach at Athens in 1994. This 737 had its first flight in September 1993 and was delivered to TAROM in October 1993.  TAROM is the flag carrier of Romania and was founded in September of 1954. It currently flies to 52 destinations.  YR-BGA flew with TAROM from 1993 to March 2020 when it was stored.

Jean Pierre posted this in Transylvania, hence the BRAN postmark. Bran is about 25 km from Brasov, Transylvania. The stamp is from 2022 and is 1 of 2 issued for Romanian Stamp Day .

I think that's a good way to end off today's update. Thanks for the cards go out to Josep and Assumpta, Agnieszka and Jean Pierre. 

Take care, see you again soon.
