Postcard from Finland


有一張特別的郵票,說是郵票,其實材質與外貌更像張貼紙,旁邊還有張"PRIORITY",原來芬蘭郵局的明信片可以要求優先處理啊,這倒是新奇。


「忽如一夜春風來,千樹萬樹梨花開」(岑參〈白雪歌送武判官歸京〉)是看見這張明信片的第一印象,可惜我從沒有看過北地(或任何一處)的雪,只能想像著︰大概就是如此吧。

Postcard from Portugal



這張來自葡萄牙的明信片(PT-73599),沒有郵票,只有條碼和郵戳,有些可惜也很驚奇。
明信片背後寫著︰This card shows you " 25th April Bridge ...."

更多關於這座吊橋(suspension bridge)的說明還有wiki上︰
It is a suspension bridge connecting the city of Lisbon, capital of Portugal,to the municipality of Almada on the left bank of the Tagus river. It is often compared to the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, USA, due to their similarities and same construction company. With a total length of 2,277 m, it is the 20th largest suspension bridge in the world.

I like it very much!
