Today's post

 Rolf lives in a little village near the beautiful city of Magdeburg in Germany.  He sent this multi-view card of  Magdeburg's attractions.  

Katja was having a tea party with her postcrossing friends in Novosibirsk, Russia. 

They all sent greetings with this beautiful card  showing Vydubychi Monastery and Botanical Garden in Kiev, Ukraine.

Russian artists

Sofia from Moscov sent these beautiful and  fabulous postcards.

The artist is Daria Gerasimova, a Russian illustrator of childrens books.

Unfortunately I didn't find any  information about her.

But I really like her art works very much!

Vasily Perov

Vasily Perov (1834-1882) was a Russian painter of scenes and portraits.

Some of his works display humor or irony, but some are very serious. His paintings shows different levels of Russian society - rich and poor.

This is one of those sad descriptions of poverty.

Bridge, beauty and tram

Ha'Penny Bridge

 Olen vähän (!!)  jäljessä näissä korttipäivityksissä. Tässä viikko 39, aika hiljainen..

Ensimmäinen virallinen postikortti Irlannista tuli Claudialta Dublinin läheltä.

Kortissa on Ha'pennyn silta Liffey joella Dublinissa.  Claudian kortti oli ilmeisesti vähän harhaillut naapurienkin postilaatikoissa, koska se löytyi vasta sunnuntaina meidän omasta laatikosta.

My first official card from Ireland, thank you Claudia.

Lisboa, Electrico no. 28

Viikon 39 lemppari :)

Ystäväni Soili lähetti Lissabonista idyllisen katunäkymän.

 Electrico no. 28 kiipeää ylös Lissabonin mäkisiä katuja.

Kiitos Soili!

My friend Soili lives near Lisbon, Portugal. 

She sent this idyllic street view from the hilly Lisbon.

Thank you Soili
