Gomel
Blurry photo of an ugly building. Quite honestly, I don't know why someone would even produce a card like this, let alone purchase it. One of the things I have on my wishlist is the sender's favorite place in their country, and the sender of this card states that they chose this one because they like Gomel very much. I am sure they do, but I am still mystified why they would choose this ugly card to represent a place that has a number of nice places.
However, the sender did write me a nice message and used lots of stamps. :)
The green ones are a 2012 definitive from the series on architectural monuments, this particular one being Niasvizh Castle, a UNESCO site in the city of Niasvizh. The purple one in the middle is from the same set, this one showing the Kamianets-Podilskyi Castle in the city of Kamianets-Podilskyi. The flower on the right is a lily from a 2008 set on garden flowers.
The flower arrangement on the card looks like a bee, maybe that's why they thought it would be a nice card to make? It is a sad pic though. But the stamps are nice!
ReplyDeleteI agree. I had one addressee request boring cards as he had quite a collection. This could have been sent to him instead of you!
