A huge mountain of post cards =)

Here's some post cards I have received during last weeks, not all, I'll scan those later. Thanks for all great sender!!!


Church tag (Clover, USA) showing Washington National Cathedral ans Saint Mary's Chapel. At the lesft of the sanctuary is dominated by the poychromed wood reredos carved by Ernest Pelligrini. I like this very peaceful chapel.

Very cool Car tag (Sandwood, Austria, she is known her beautiful handwriting!), it's Salvador Dali's Clothed Automobile, 1941. The stamp is a brand new "legends of Formula I", thank you so much!





BKLVRINVA, USA, sent this lovely coloures Lighthouse tag: Pigeon Pint Ligthouse, California. The point itself was actually named for an earlier shipwreck, that of the Carrier Pigeon in 1853. After three more wrecks in the 1860s', the San Mateo County Cazette wrote: "No other one place on the Pacific Coast has proved so fatal to navigators as this locality... all of the vessels that have been lost in the vicinity of Pigeon Point have been lost in consequence of dense fogs which prevented the land from being sighted until the vessels were among the breakers." First lit in 1872, the lighthouse prevented many disasters, but not all. Seen here in 1934.
