Lighthouse RR cards

The Lighthouse of Ar-Men is one of the best known lighthouses at the west end of Brittany. It shares its name with the rock on which it was erected. It is know also because of its isolated situation and the considerable difficulties its construction has presented, and the danger in evacuating its personnel. Considered as one of the most challenging workplaces by the community of lighthouse keepers, it has been named "The Hell of Hells".

Petit Minou lighthouse is located in the city of Plouzané, on the north side of the Brest straits. It was lit in 1848.

The lighthouse of Creac'h is a lightouse in Ushant, France. I like the view, rocks and stormy sea.

Facial Tattoos Postage stamp and cover

James sent me beautiful cover from Taiwan, it was sent on 19th of October and I received it on 25th of October.

Philatelic Bulletin says, that in the early days of the tribal society of the Atayal, an aboriginal people of Taiwan, decorative facial tattoos were custamarily stained on tribal members faces during solemn rituals. Men tattooed one or more vertical lines on their forehead and chins, whereas women tattooed one or more vertical lines on their foreheads as well as V shapes on their cheeks, extending from their ears to their lips. The traditional Atayal facial tattoo is fraught with social meaning. Apart from being symbols of glory, these tattoos demonstrate tribal identity, convey that their bearers have reached adulthood, and serve as badges of bravery and talent. The stamp features a tattooed Atayal woman weaving against the background of Mt. Dabajian.
Thank you James!

Lighthouse RR cards

Raymond sent me thematic envelope, cover was sent on20th of October and received on 25th. All lighthouse postcards were new to me

Three Sisters Lighthouses are identical, they were bulit at Nauset Beach in 1838. The lighthouses were built in only 38 days. The lights were 150 feet apart and exhibited fixed white lights 97 feet above sea level

Peninsula Point Lighthouse is located on Northern Lake Michigan, is just south of Stonington in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The original structure included living quarters for the lighthouse keeper and his family. A fire gutted the structure in 1959, leaving only the lighth tower that you see now. From the top, you can see Escanaba to the west, Fayette to the east, and the Minneapolis Shoal Lighthouse to the south

Nubble Light is located at a small, rocky island a short distance off the entrance to the York River and York Harbor. The building of the lighthouse started in 1876.
