LA TOUR, GUISE, FRANCE -- even the sheep isn't interested in the Tower

LA FORET LANDAISE, LA LANDEA, FRANCE -- the only mildly interesting (ha!) thing about this Boring Postcard is to be found at the base of the tree, front left. Either someone has extracted some sap from the tree, or a picnic-er has left behind a couple of cups.

LE PUY DE DOME -- LE SOMMET (1,465 m), France

Moutain stages of the Tour de France often finish here -- you can see why!

ANOTHER ONE FROM KATERINA -- this time Oakland Auto Court, Oakland CA, USA

"One block from US Highway No 250 at 88th Avz. No traffic disturbance, restful surroundings, pleasing accomodation. 30 attractive, homelike cottages with all modern facilities, including provate telephone service and attached garages. Some cottages have kitchenettes. Two blocks to stores and restaurant. 20 minutes to downtown Oakland. Phone...."

Nowy Sącz Voivodeship (Region) - a unit of administrative division existing in 1975-1998. Located in the southern part of Poland, on the border with Slovakia (until 1992 with Czechoslovakia). It bordered the Krosno Region to the east, the Tarnów and Kraków Region to the north and the Bielsko Voivodeship to the west. The seat of the Region authorities was Nowy Sącz. Postcard sent in 1986 .

THREE MORE FROM MIKEL UNTZILLA --thanks, thanks, thanks, Mikel

1. Passage du metro devant La Tour Eiffel

Seen one Eiffel picture, a,d seen them all. But the train makes this view different -- but not really interesting.

So here's another Eiffel Tower one from Mikel...

2. Exposition des Arts Decoratifs -- Vue de Nuit

Not a lot of Decoratif Arts in sight, so onwards to Spain...

3. 'Nocturnal view of the Toral Square', Santiago de Compostela, Spain

Visited this Square a  number of times when I was in SdeC, but, alas, I didn't get included in this Boring Postcard
