Amusement Park


Postcard IDTW-1176653
Country: Taiwan

I like postcards with many details as I can see on it over and over again and find something new each time. This card shows us a painted amusement park. I defined it as I noticed a ferris wheel :) from the second sight you can see a carousel. Also I see some enigmatic buildings, so I can imagine all what  I want about them :)
It's really kind postcard which returns me to my childhood. Although, now I also like to visit Amusement parks :)

Burj Khalifa, Dubai, United Arab Emirates


Postcard IDAE-7699
Country: United Arab Emirates

Hurray! This is my first card from United Arab Emirates! So, now I have 50 unique countries in my stats :)

And this card is absolutely awesome! Here is incredible building and so wonderful night view.

Burj Khalifa, known as Burj Dubai prior to its inauguration, is a skyscraper in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and is the tallest man-made structure in the world, at 829.8 m.

Construction began on 21 September 2004, with the exterior of the structure completed on 1 October 2009. The building officially opened on 4 January 2010, and is part of the new 2 km2 development called Downtown Dubai at the 'First Interchange' along Sheikh Zayed Road, near Dubai's main business district. The tower's architecture and engineering were performed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill of Chicago, with Adrian Smith as chief architect, and Bill Baker as chief structural engineer. The primary contractor was Samsung C&T of South Korea.

Here are 2 stamps, they are nice, but looks too dark after scanning because of its gold color:


Como, Italia


Postcard IDIT-260655
Country: Russia

Italy is quite rare country for me on Postcrossing. So it's so exciting to receive card from this country :)

Como is a city and comune in Lombardy, Italy. It is the administrative capital of the Province of Como.

Its proximity to Lake Como and to the Alps has made Como a popular tourist destination and the city contains numerous works of art, churches, gardens, museums, theatres, parks and palaces: the Duomo (seat of Diocese of Como), the Basilica of Sant'Abbondio, the Villa Olmo, the public gardens with the Tempio Voltiano, the Teatro Sociale, the Broletto (the city's medieval town hall) and the 20th century Casa del Fascio. With 213,996 arrivals, Como is the third most visited city in Lombardy after Milan and Bergamo.

Como was the birthplace of many historically notable figures, including the (somewhat obscure) poet Caecilius who is mentioned by Catullus in the 1st century BCE, the far more substantial literary figures of Pliny the Elder and the Younger, Pope Innocent XI, the scientist Alessandro Volta, and Cosima Liszt, second wife of Richard Wagner and long-term director of the Bayreuth Festival.

I think it's wonderful place and I already want to visit it!

Here are some Italian stamps:

Stanley Park Totem, Canada


Postcard IDCA-411406
Country: Canada

This great card was sent to me by Chinese girl Vicky from Canada. When I'm going to Canada I will know the places I should visit ;)

One of the province's most popular attractions is a group of eight totem poles at Brockton Point. Four totem poles were originally brought from Alert Bay and placed at Lumbermen’s Arch in 1924. Some had been carved back in the late 1880s. More totem poles were purchased in the 1920s and 1930s, this time originating from the Queen Charlotte Islands and Rivers Inlet. All of the totem poles were moved to Brockton Point in 1962 to allow the construction of an overhead road at Lumberman's Arch. Many of them have been replaced with replicas, with the originals now kept in museums for preservation. The most recent addition, erected in 2009, was carved by a member of the Squamish Nation whose mother was born in Stanley Park

And look on this beautiful horse on stamp!

Having fun in Indiana!


Postcard IDUS-2612890
Country: USA

This is the 4th map of United States. And as usual, map card is great :)

Indiana is a U.S. state located in the midwestern and Great Lakes regions of North America. Indiana is the 38th largest by area and the 16th most populous of the 50 United States. Indiana is the least extensive state in the contiguous United States west of the Appalachian Mountains. Its capital and largest city is Indianapolis. Indiana was admitted to the United States as the 19th U.S. state on December 11, 1816.

Before it became a territory, varying cultures of indigenous peoples and historic Native Americans inhabited Indiana for thousands of years. Since its founding as a territory, settlement patterns in Indiana have reflected regional cultural segmentation present in the Eastern United States; the state's northernmost tier was settled primarily by people from New England and New York, Central Indiana by migrants from the Mid-Atlantic states and from adjacent Ohio, and Southern Indiana by settlers from the Southern states, particularly Kentucky and Tennessee.

Indiana has several metropolitan areas with populations greater than 100,000 and a number of smaller industrial cities and towns. Indiana is home to several major sports teams and athletic events including the NFL's Indianapolis Colts, the NBA's Indiana Pacers, the WNBA’s Indiana Fever, and the Indianapolis 500 and Brickyard 400 motorsports races.

I would like to visit Indianapolis one day.

A stamp is in Christmas theme:

Olympic Games are finished, but postcards are still in the way :)
I think it was great time. I have a little unusual work hours, so I didn't saw these games, only read about results in news. All Belarus prides our Dasha Domracheva, Anton Kushnir, Nadezhda Skardino and Alla Tsuper. We have the best results in the history of our participating in Olympic Games!
