Thursday Postcard Hunt | USA Cities

Postcards from Pittsburgh (Pennsylvania, USA):

Aerial view of downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania "The Golden Triangle", and Point State Park. The Allegheny River (left) and the Monongahela River (right) converge at Pittsburgh's Point to form the Ohio River.

The moon and the style of these illustrations make the cities very attractive. Phillip (the USA) has sent me a couple more from different states: Nashville (Tennessee) and Louisville (Kentucky).

From a Sunny Place

I sent some citrus postcards in mid-summer (28th July 2025). One of them  arrived in Russia in mid-winter (early February). As the recipient wrote... maybe it is not arriving late, but too soon!

Printed Collage

Front and back of an envelope made by Lilli (Canada). She makes the collages, and then prints copies for envelopes or writing paper. A great idea!

Women on Postcards | V Is for Victoria

Postcard sent by Bryon (Canada), with matching stamps on the back, from the 2023 series Ferries of Canada. 

I received this one on the back of another postcard. Series completed!

Most stamps are rectangular, but some have other (odd) shapes...
