Vuurtoren Noorderhoofd, Westkapelle, The Netherlands. Noorderhoofd lighthouse

20.02.23 - 10.03.23    #1359

It is a second lighthouse postcards in my postbox today from Heleen. This is one of the beautiful lighthouses in Europe that I want to visit. It is located on the coast of the North Sea, near the town of Westkapelle in the southwestern part of the Netherlands. This is a small but beautiful lighthouse, which was built in the period 1875-1876. Heleen described in detail the origin of the lighthouse, for which many thanks to her. She put a stamp on this and another (Vlieland) lighthouse, which the Amsterdam post office has very nicely canceled.

Vuurtoren "Paard van Marken" lighthouse, The Netherlands

20.02.23 - 10.03.23    #1538

Today got this beautifuil lighthouse postcard from Netherlands. This unusual lighthouse is located on a cape in the islet of Marken, not far from the capital of the Netherlands, Amsterdam. I received a postcard from Heleen, who lives in Amstelveen, part of capital Amsterdam. She beautifully described the lighthouse and pasted 2 stamps of lighthouses on the postcard. The stamps of the same lighthouse and Staroven lighthouse. It is a pity that the cancellation was not on the stamp, but in the place where the address is written. Thanks to Helen for the layout and handwriting.

Obersee - Konigssee. Bavaria. Germany

01.02.23 - 10.03.23    #1536

Obersi is a paradise in the Bavarian Alps at the Royal Lake. You can get there either by boat or by hiking from Berchtesgaden or Obersalzberg. During my journey and on a boat, I was able to swim to the place of St. Bartholoma. But I live with the hope that when I can spend more time in these places, because these places are the most beautiful in Europe. Thank you for such a beautiful postcard and design.

Oberammergau

10.02.23 - 10.03.23   #1533

Obeammergau is a town that I passed by back in 2006 and could not visit. But when I decided to visit Germany for the second time in 2018, it was on my must-visit list. This fabulous Bavarian town drove me crazy right away. We walked along the main streets of this commune on the way from Linderhof Castle to Neuschwanstein, bought a lot of postcards and souvenirs there. But the real signed postcard from this town was destined to be received today. Thank you for the beautiful postcard.

Batumi lighthouse

14.02.23 - 10.03.23       #1532 

I was very happy when I saw this postcard on the official website of the Georgian Post. My old friend, with whom I exchanged even before the pandemic, was just arriving in Georgia. I asked Pavel to arrange an exchange for us. And he didn't refuse. I visited this lighthouse back in 2016 when I visited Georgia. The lighthouse immediately attracted my attention, as it shone in the evening. And when the stamps of lighthouses of Georgia came out, I was pleasantly surprised. Thanks pavel for the beautiful postcard, for the kind words and of course 3 beautiful stamp of lighthouses. Although the postcard could cancel it more beautifully.

Moritzburg lighthouse

02.02.23 - 02.03.23     #1531

I received this postcard from a friend who lives in Frankfurt am Main. We went to this lighthouse in the summer of 2018. This is one of the most beautiful lighthouses in Germany. It was made by the lake next to the Pheasant Palace, (1769-1782), which is part of the architectural ensemble of Moritzburg Castle - the property of the Saxon Electors of the Wettin House, located in the German city of Moritzburg, 14 km from Dresden, the federal state of Saxony. On this lake, for the Elector, scenes of real wars were shown. The stamp of the same lighthouse is also used on the postcard. Thank you very much for the beautifully designed postcard.

Today I received next postcard from the map of the world series. This is Brunei Darussalam. Completely Negara Brunei Darussalam. Due to Brunei's long non-inaccurate mail, this postcard has been beautifully signed and canceled in Rimba town, Brunei. And then it was sent to me in an envelope from Malaysia. The card is beautifully designed. It is written about the Sultanate, and about the traditional stamps of the country, in which there are always mosques and sultans of the country. Card little bit damaged. Thank you Tan.

Envelope from Malaysia

Quite a lot of mail has arrived today. I was looking forward to this envelope. It contained a serial card from Brunei, which could not be sent from Brunei, as the post office there is bad and takes a very long time.

The postcard with Helsinki view is beautifully cancelled and sent from the Helsinki post office. Many thanks Milya.

Envelope from Malaysia

20.07.2020 - 02.03.2023   travel 2.5 years   #C233

I received this envelope from Malaysia today, when I opened it I was shocked. When I saw stamps of lighthouses from Thailand inside, I remembered that this exchange was a long time ago and I had been waiting for these stamps for my collection for a very long time. The envelope was sent in the summer of 2020, at the height of the Covid pandemic. Maybe that's why she's been lost for almost three years now. A few months ago I made a new exchange with a postcrosser from Thailand and she sent me these stamps in the form of a mini-shield. So these stamps don't make sense to me. With this envelope, I also received another envelope from Malaysia sent at the end of 2022. I think this was the reason why they sent me this envelope, which probably remained somewhere on the sidelines.
