'Just noticed that the postcards arrived from Greece,Val :-)

EDESSA is the name of the place and the river: Edesseos..

which flows through the town and becomes a high waterfall, famous in the Balkans, and a place to visit to see this wonder (which, if you have seen Niagara falls...this is a bit "boring")

Dear Mark, in Poland in 2016 there was published a book by Mikolaj Dlugosz "Summer in the city", which is a selection of 160 frames, from tens of thousands of frames that were taken by many photographers between 1970 and 1989 for the purpose of printing postcards. Photographers sent out into the field were given the same instructions - the criteria according to which the pictures were to be taken. This is why such works are coherent, even though they are the work of dozens of different authors working over a period of 20 years.

A 'PUNNY' CARD FROM RAY HALEY

What can I say?  Well, to begin with I suppose an explanation of 'otter' might be necessary for non-English speakers: it is some sort of pun on 'ought to'.

AlthoughI why the beast should be in Sunday school -- and not say the sea -- is beyond me.  Then the 'Love one another' is baffling as there is only one otter/ought to that seems to be asleep and so has no-one around to love (except in it's dreams).

But if you come from the capital of Canada* you might be able to make more sense of this than I can.

* Ottawa. Another pun: sorry folks, I couldn't resist it
