Cover from Russia

Yuri sent me cover from Russia. Cover has beautiful and clear postmark. Thanks!


Wonderful cover and lighthouses

Felix from Taiwan sent me the cover and 3 lighthouse postcards. Unfortunally I do not know the names of the lighthouses, but they are nice addition to my lighthouse postcards collection. Does anyone know the names and places?



Cabo Mayor lighthouse

Cabo Mayor lighthouse is located in Santader, northern Spain. It shows the sunset and I find the colours amazing.
Thank you Beatriz!


Military cover


Saujanya sent me military themed cover from India. Thanks!

5 beautiful lighthouses

Nan sent me nice cover from USA and inside of the cover were 5 new lighthouse postcards


3 postcards show the same lighthouse, but all views are so different. My favourite is in the middle.I like the autumn colours and the wooden path. About the lighthouse - it is located on Fire Island. The building is built 1858, was restored and relit in 1986. The biggest efforts were made by the Fire Island Lighthouse Preservation Society, which now operates it.
Great place to visit!
Wonderful postcard, the light and moon and ship. Really beautiful! Orient Point lighthouse is located at the most easterly tip of Ling Island on the North Fork. Also known as the Coffee Pot, the Oirent Point Lighthouse was completed in 1899. The lighthouse stands 64 feet and marks the hazardous waters of Plumb Gut.

Boston lighthouse is located on Little Brewster Island.This was the first lightstation established on the North American continent, and the last in the United States to be automated. Wow!
Thank you Nan!

Dragon from Hong Kong

Alan sent me new Year of the Dragon cover from Hong Kong. The cover has pstmark of 19th of January and it arrived on 30th of January.
The Dragon is an auspicioius, mythical crature incarnated as an emperor, representing supreme power and commanding great respect. It is belived that people born in the Year of the Dragon are confident, courageous and clever.
These four stamps on cover depict the Dragon in various forms - a fire dragon spiked with glowing joss sticks (1.40), glittering statue of a golden dragon (2.40), a spirited dragon performing the traditional dragon dance (3) and a lifelike dragon engraved on a stone wall (5).
Thank you Alan for beautiful cover and explanations!
