Third and probably final card for today unless I get bored later and I might. This one is off to France, yay!
User wanted art, and art they shall get.

Postcard showing a detail from a piece by Kevin Bynder. It's a dot painting, with dots and flowing lines in ochres, greens and blues. A central circle is surrounded by the U shapes traditionally used to depict humans. There is a matching stamp on the front, it's a maxi card.

Postcard two for today is off to ... Germany.
There is an option on postcrossing to not send to repeated countries (ie, if you have a card on the way to the USA, you won't get another USA address) but it doesn't promise to work. It's not a huge deal, I don't really mind where i send.

Postcard showing the cover of an old Penguin book. The title reads Scootering. Subtitle reads "A penguin handbook". Author is Jon Stevens, but probably not the singer. The image is several overlapped black and white photos of someone on a scooter, with a couple of the overlaps being coloured yellow and red.

Today's postcard is one of three, in an effort to shake things up and send to a country other than the USA or Germany. It sort of worked.
Anyway, first card for the day is off to... the USA.

Postcard showing Kata Tjuta, also known as The Olgas. It's an aerial view with the rocks rising out of the flat desert. The desert around is a soft yellow colour, with the rounded rocks a strong red tone. They have formed a loose circle, and are weathered and smoothed.

Rote und Grüne Ampelmann - images: Time Roeloffs

The Ampelmann is a beloved symbol of the former GDR. The Ampelmann was created by traffic psychologist Karl Peglau and introduced in Berlin in October 1961. The figure achieved such popularity that in the early 1980s the Ampelmann became part of road safety education for children.

After the unification of East and West Germany, the East German ampelmann disappeared because the same traffic lights should be used throughout the country. After several campaigns to preserve the East German Ampelmann, it was reinstated. Today, pedestrian traffic lights with East German Ampelmänner can again be found everywhere in the streetscape of Berlin and other East German cities.

From newspapers and magazines, Tim Roeloffs cuts and slices pictures and glues them together into a collage, in which a new, fantastic world emerges. After working as a tennis instructor, Tim Roeloffs settled in Berlin in 1992 and joined the artists' initiative Tacheles. After art and culture house Tacheles closed in 2012, Tim has worked in various workshops in Berlin and his work is available at various galleries. Currently, Tim creates his work in a workshop/shop in Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg.

The Super Chief & The San Diegan at the L.A. Passenger Terminal - Postcard.
.
#Postcard #SantaFe #ATSF #SuperChief #SanDiegan #LosAngeles #travel #Streamliner #RailroadHistory #trains #TrainsofMastodon

This postcard shows two red diesel locomotives of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway standing side by side at night under the covered platforms of Los Angeles Passenger Terminal. The locomotives wear the classic red and silver “warbonnet” livery with large “Santa Fe” lettering across the nose. The unit on the right displays the number 83, and the one to the left shows 46. Their headlights are illuminated, casting bright white beams onto the wet platform surface. A platform canopy marked with a circular “5” sign extends above the train on the left. Passenger cars stretch back into the distance beneath station lighting. The scene captures the Super Chief and the San Diegan in a nighttime station setting, emphasizing the streamlined design and bold paint scheme of mid-20th-century Santa Fe passenger power.

Second card, away! This one is a bit of a risk because I read that a lot of people don't like older style cards, but on the other hand it does fit her interests and is a cool local building I had anecdotes about.

Also I'd just bought a big stack of old cards from the charity shop about an hour before reading about the haters, so they're just gonna have to deal 😅

#Postcrossing #Postcard #Kirkleatham

A retro looking photo postcard of an old building, yellower than it appears in real life because this pic was taken at night. It's an old Georgian mansion from the 18th century, very symmetrical with a grand entrance and tall windows. Outside is a flat landscaped lawn.

Den Worten mit @schlicksbier, @markus1982 und @juergenlibertus Taten folgen lassen! Als Fotograf möchte ich 100 Postkarten, mit 5 verschiedenen Motiven drucken lassen. Das angehängte Contact Sheet stellt eine grobe Auswahl dar. Wollt ihr mir bei der Bestimmung von 5 finalen Bildern helfen?

Today's card is off to Germany.
I note Melbourne is in one of the wider pictures, as is right and good. Suck it, other capital cities.

#Postcrossing #SnailMail #Postcard

A postcard. It's divided into nine blocks, with the middle column being slightly wider. The top row shows a flat green simple map of Australia with the locations of the capitals marked, then a photo of Sydney, and then Adelaide. Middle row, left to right, is Brisbane, Canberra and Perth. Bottom row is Darwin, Melbourne and finally Hobart.
