Today's card is off to China.
Oh fishy, fishy fishy FISH, that went
Where ever I
Did go.

Postcard showing a close up of the face of a Harlequin Tuskfish, which is a fish with bright orange and white stripes, with a hint of green in the white at the top of the fish. It also has blue fangs, it's very retro. The background is some coral reef, another Tuskfish and some various other tropical fish swimming about.

Hoy vamos a seguir con #Feditelia porque sí, porque me apetece. Este sello me ha llegado en uno de los intercambios que he hecho en #postcrossing en este mes de febrero y una persona, sabiendo que me gustan, ha tenido el detalle de enviarme algunos. Así que quiero enseñar las maravillas de relacionarse con gente.
Este sello fue diseñado por Li Chen quien ha diseñado otros donde se puede observar costumbres y tradiciones chinas. Dejamos una página web por si queréis bichear algo más de su trabajo abajo.
Fue puesto en circulación un 3 de septiembre de 2023 e ilustra las montañas de Taihung, concretamente y si me he enterado bien en Xiongguan.

Por ahora será el único sello de China que compartamos por aquí porque, literalmente, es el único que tengo :blobcat_cwy:

Aparece en el centro un edificio diría parecido a de culto en China y alrededor todo de montañas. Las más cercanas sí están repletas de árboles pero al fondo son montañas más rocosas o a no ser que quisieran darle ese aspecto para ilustrar la lejanía. Abajo a la derecha se le China y algo con caracteres chinos que desconozco.

#Les3BonheursDuJour de ce dimanche après-midi

- continuer d’apprendre à jouer *en ligne au go après avoir regardé un film sur le sujet, le tutoriel en anglais est ici playgo.to/index.html#/en/intro

- lire les réponses enthousiastes des membres sur le forum de #PostCrossing dans la catégorie éducation (des requêtes pour envoyer des cartes postales à des écoles)

- me reposer à nouveau

Today's card is off to the USA and by the looks of it it's going quick.

Postcard showing a galloping horse. The horse is a light golden brown with a black tail and mane and is going like the clappers against a green backdrop, which is blurred. There's a postage stamp on the front of the card in the top left showing a cartoon horse.

Witzige Postkarte aus Mexiko, heute angekommen. Die ist mindestens 120 Jahre alt . Oft wurden solche Karten damals in Deutschland gedruckt, war ein Exportartikel. Die meisten Länder hatten noch keinen Farbdruck der Fotos so wiedergeben konnte. Oft musste von Hand nachcoloriert werden. Die Auflösung ist sehr hoch! Schwierig war die exakte Ausrichtung mehrerer Reproduktions- und Druckschritte. Und farbecht sind die Dinger auch.

Hihi, 🦉 Eulenpost

Poststempel mit Eule

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.

#Postcrossing #Postcard #SnailMail

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.

#Postcrossing #Postcard #SnailMail

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.

#Postcrossing #Postcard #SnailMail

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.

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.

Ayer me encontré respuestas inesperadas en el buzón que me hicieron mucha ilusión y hoy algo visual que puedo enseñar. La postal de los martines pescadores me parece a mí que la voy hasta a enmarcar, estoy enamorada.

Dos postales en un suelo de mármol.a la izquierda una flor con pétalos blancos, una Delta dunarii. A la derecha u a ilustración de cinco martines pescadores en una rama sobre un lago y otro Martín pescador retomando el vuelo saliendo del agua con un pez en el pico

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.

Eine tolle #postcrossing Postkarte 📯 aus der Republik China/Taiwan 🇹🇼

War auch einigermaßen schnell. 🌬️

Today's card is off to the USA. I'm running low on Melbourne cards, I'll have to hike in and pick some up. This one is my photo.
the scan is more blobbly than the card, I do these low res.

Postcard showing a section of the Melbourne skyline in bright sunshine under a clear blue sky. In the foreground there are bright yellow cafe umbrellas and a section of open space covered in fake grass at Federation Square.

Gentecilla, no sé si conocéis el trabajo de @IoannesEnsis Tenemos que decir que es una pasada. Hablando nos ha dado permiso para fomentar que le compréis yonkilatas en su kofi que dejamos por aquí ko-fi.com/ioannesensis y podamos diseñar una postal con las chulerías que tiene subidas en el mismo enlace.

Le apoyáis con yonkilatas, os descargáis la imagen con la que queráis hacer la postal y vais y la imprimís. Barato y fácil.

¿Por qué no hacemos una ronda de apoyo mutuo en la tanda de marzo y mandamos unas postales con más significado?

Como ha comentado en su perfil está pasando un momento económicamente complicado así que desde aquí vamos a hacer campaña para que marzo se llene de color con su trabajo.

Si tenéis problemas sobre cómo hacer la postal me lo podéis decir que lo hagamos desde aquí con el diseño que queráis de su kofi. Eso sí, tenéis que demostrar, como ha hecho @maltita con su iniciativa para apoyar a las personas de Gaza que habéis pagado la yonkilata con una captura. Para esto me escribís al correo del proyecto.
