得失只一念 風景不轉心境轉 | 煩惱來自偏執一切也依戀 | 風吹草動 命途亂了我不亂 | 交出了平常心再隨緣
A late Christmas postcard from Portugal. It takes more than a month to come to Hong Kong.
The first stamp was issued in 2012, from the series Traditional Portuguese Festivities. I guess the festival is called “Festas Populares”. The second stamp was released in 2012, and the theme of the stamp is Christmas.
A postcard with beautiful painting from Poland. The name of the work is called Palace of culture with baloons (I guess the painter wants to call it balloon instead of baloons?)by Grzegorz Chudy.
The stamp was released in 1996. It is from the series : Signs of the Zodiac. This one shows Capricorn, which means wild goat.
A postcard received from a rare country, Moldova, which is near Ukraine at the Eastern Europe. The postcard shows the National Museum of Archeology and History of Moldova. The museum is situated at the capital of the country. The first stamp was released in 2012. It is about a monument called Zero Kilometre. The second stamp was released in 2004, from the series Ancient Adornments.
A lovely postcard from Taiwan! The postcard shows Chinese Crested Tern 黑嘴端鳳頭燕鷗. It is a critically endangered species, and previously thought extinct. It is estimated that now there are around 50 birds of this kind in the world now. One of the living area of this kind of bird is Matsu Islands of Taiwan.
The stamp chop is really beautiful and therefore I show it here also. It shows the Songshan Airport of Taipei.
