Postcard showing the Flinders Ranges in the distance. The ranges are hazy and blue with distance, with a soft zig zag shaped skyline. In the foreground, lots of rolling hills covered in grass that is Summer brown, with a few rows of trees and some dotted trees around the place. Text underneath the photo reads Flinders Ranges, Australia.

Representa una Prosthechea vitellina, una orquídea proveniente del trópico. Es una planta que se denomina epífeta. Esto quiere decir que crece sobre una superficie pero no lo utiliza de alimento. Principalmente sobre musgos y líquenes.

Otra ilustración preciosa de la que desconozco autoría.

Four silos standing next to each other so they touch, or possibly one silo shaped like four. There is a concrete header above them. The silos themselves have a mural depicting a cold sunrise over farm land, with a windmill in a grassy paddock, bathed in golden light and deep blue shadows. In the foreground of the mural is a farmer with a hat and coat on, blowing into his hands to warm them. He's white, with a dark beard. The silos are in front of a clear blue sky.

DC-8 fans? Goodnight from this Trans International Airlines Sunset Postcard.

A 4 engine plane is seen flying off into the setting sun. There is an ominous thunderstorm cloud in front of the plane, I don't think was meant to mean anything sinister. You can see where they cut out a DC8 and put it over the cloud/ sunset shot. An early pre phtotoshop process.

The growing world population is increasingly seeking happiness in expanding cities. Enjoy the flair of city life and beautiful cityscapes on the postcards from ohoh.store. A short stroll through the streets of Berlin:

The street as a bedroom. Choice or necessity? Punk culture, after extensive gentrification, is still present in Berlin-Friedrichshain. But no longer as prominent as in this old photo from the noughties by Christian Hetey.

If the street can be used as a bedroom, you can also use it as a bathroom. Be careful where you walk in Berlin.

And there it is: a convenient place to do your business. Berlin's streets offer a great deal.

Postcard showing a young, very fluffy, koala. It's resting in the V of a tree, with the V side on. The koala is belly down, with a hind leg on the tree trunk and a front leg gripping the leaves. Did I mention fluffy? This is a maxi card so it has a matching stamp in the bottom left corner, with an illustration of a mum koala carrying her baby on her back.

There's a lot going on here today!

After the stress of the driving I returned home to my second #Postcrossing card, and omg.

Even just the envelope is a cheery work of art, and look at all those stamps!

It got even better inside, with a handmade card that is also covered in stamps and cute stickers and a sleepy bee. But also bonus stickers, and last but very much not least a collectible presentation booklet with a mint stamp and also a silver version!

I can't get over how absolutely wonderfully kind and generous this is, from a complete stranger :BlobCat_Love:

#Postcard #Stamps

Left side of a heavily decorated envelope with the address blurred out. The sender has spelled "postcrossing" with individual letter stickers, some in pastel colours and some in black. There's also an easter theme on the other stickers, one with fluffy chicks emerging from a ribbon-wrapped egg and another with a rabbit peering out from yes, another egg. The stamps along the top are mostly Austrian buildings, but one has a purple animated car from Pixar's movie Cars.Contents of the envelope. To the right, a long portrait orientation card with blue and purple flowers on a lighter purple background. It's had extra flower stickers applied. 

There are bonus stickers with messages like "life is short have fun, "always dream big", "be you not them" and "worry less smile more". And a black cardboard booklet with a square black and white stamp depicting five men doing...I don't know, Austrian congress things. Opposite the stamp is a silver version with the same image, although you can't really make it out in this photo.Back of the postcard with the address and handwritten message blurred out. It's a dense collage of stamps and stickers, particularly one large illustrated sticker of a sleepy bee curled up in a ball in the middle of the card. Underneath it the sender has drawn "HELLO" in purple lettering, and there are tiny flower and bee stickers scattered around it.

Some of the visible stickers read "Ordinary people can do extraordinary things" and "with brave wings she flies". The row of stamps along the top has everything from butterflies to flowers to a hand holding a bubble full of fireworks? I don't know, stamps can be weird.
