Lighthouses from a Big Trip


Mukho Lighthouse in Donghae (South Korea). Not a country I receive a lot of mail from! The stamp, or label, also caught my attention:




Tokarevskiy (Токаревского) Lighthouse, in Vladivostok. Despite its modest size, this is one of Russia's best known lighthouses. It is named for Capt. M.J. Tokarev, whose ship surveyed the area in 1862-63. 

On the back of the postcard (How nice it is!), a matching stamp from 1984, showing the same lighthouse:

Postcards sent by Ania (South Korea & Russia).

    Beyond cool to have the lighthouse on the stamp as well!

    Hope your month has gone well, Eva.

      Hi, Nila! I've been most of April travelling, so not very focused in visiting the A to Z blogs as planned. I guess now I'm going to read some posts, even late. Thanks for visiting!

      Do you send mail postcards from your travels?

    Hi Eva, Like they say, you learn something every day. It's true! Re the first card: this is my first time to know anything about Donghae, South Korea. A cool lighthouse at that! Neat cards!

      Thanks, John! I've been out of the Internet some days, while travelling.
