                                                                  GLORY TO UKRAINE 

Hi again. Here's a few more cards for your viewing pleasure.

First up this time is a card from Sri Lanka. It's a look at Prince House or Mantri Manai, a ruined house believed to be part of the palace complex of King Sangili. It is located in Nallur, Jaffna. 

Ravindra used 3 stamps on his card. The left stamp was issued in 2013 for the 125th Anniversary of the Christ Church Girl's College. The  middle stamp , from 2022, showcases the National Environment Pioneer Program. The right stamp was issued in 2023, for the 100th Anniversary of the Sri Lanka Malay Association. The association was formed in 1922 , so it appears the stamp was issued a year late for some reason. 

My next card is form China. It shows us Xiamen University , located in Xiamen, Fujian. The university was founded in 1921. The large building on the left is Jiannan Auditorium. 

  Yapling used 3 nice stamps on her card. The stamp on the left, 1 of 3, shows Mount Qingyuan. It was issued in 2015.  The middle stamp, from 2018,  is 1 of 4, showing Chinese Flowering Crabapple Blossoms. The right stamp , from 2017 , is 1 of 6 highlighting Cultural Relics. 

Time now for a Map card. It's a map of Great Britain. This island in the North Atlantic Ocean is the ninth-largest island in the world. 

David used the new and first British stamp showing the new king, King Charles III. It is 1 of 5 in a new definitive set. 

Here now is today's last card. It arrived from France and on it we see King Henri IV of France. Henri ruled from 1589 -1610 and was the first of the Bourbon kings of France. He brought unity and prosperity to the country. Henri was considered a usurper by some Catholics and a traitor by some Protestants. He was killed ( assassinated )  in Paris on May 14, 1610. 

Dominique used a very recent stamp featuring Marcel Marceau. The stamp Commemoratives the 100th Anniversary of the Birth of Marceau, actor and mime and famous as Bip the Clown.

 

That's it for this time. Thanks for cards this time go out to Yaping, Ravindra, David and Dominique. 

Take care now and until next time.
