well, for my last card today Ive chosen this beautiful Irish card (Irish cards
are almost always BEAUTIFUL!)
I love the sort of
gloomy atmosphere on this one...and i think I have a particular thing developed
for boats like this...not like for a postcard theme, but ive noticed, that
whenever I see boats on the shore or in the water, i take pictures of them, and
try to make some cool shots regarding the boats' arrangement compared to the
surroundings or so...and if boats come in different colours, that is just a
bonus!
well, about that story I mentioned above....well, some 10 days
ago, there was a huge fire at the main post office in Skopje...and
unfortunately, that is the post office where the Philatelic Bureau is also
situated...or should I say, 'was'...there were no deaths fortunately, but the
damage is huge..and the post office is not working at the moment...all the
employees there have been reallocated to other post offices...however, I cant
find out where the philately lady is and if she is working at all or she is
taking a break...I dont know if and how many stamps have suffered the fire but
practically, right now, i cant get any nice new stamps....I have to be satisfied
with the general (boring) ones that are sold at the post offices...and that is
quite annoying...but unfortunately, for the time being, i dont have much of a
choice, and im running out of the nice stock of stamps I usually get at the
philately *sigh*
you can read about it here
as well
as for the stamps
on the card, we have a nice selection of flowers here...the one on the left is a
definitive from a set of 5 definitives issued in 2005. representing an Irish
orchid. Next to it is the 'dandelion' (i cant tell if this one was issued in
2004 or 2007). Next tp the dandelion is the 'thrift', from the set of 3 wild
flowers' stamps issued in 2008. And the last stamp shows a large-flowered
butterwort, as a part of 4 definitives issued in 2007.
thanks a lot to Monika for this lovely
card!
And a nice evening/morning/afternoon too all :)
