A French 'Pastoral View' -- or a rather Boring Postcard of an old farm building and a few sheep. Baaaa!

This is one of my favourite recently discovered Boring Postcards.

It's a Boring Postcard of the Airport Building in Riadh, Saudi Arabia.

I looked at it closely with a magnifying glass and found 3 sort of 'interesting ' things:

i) coming out of the 5th door on the left are a group of Saudi (?) men in white robes, but without suitcases, baggage etc

ii) the green door. Is there an old piano playing hot behind it? What's the secret it's keeping.

iii) but 3rd, and best, is the garbage skip and 2 men in orange overalls in the foreground. 'Why, oh why', I ask myself, ' would one want to give these prominence on a Postcard?' I don't have an answer: perhaps you do

Boring Building, made slightly less Boring by the tri-colore pennant for the Monument de la Résistance et la Déportation in Tarbes

And now a Boring summer Postcard of a ski-lift without passengers, skis...or even snow.....

Post Office and Town Hall from le Vigan in France.

Why on earth would anyone want to sent someone a postcard of these 2 Boring Buildings?

No bad language please, children!

Having said that, maybe there needs to be a sub-group called the AYFKM section.

Little Sahara, OKLAHOMA.  It's a state park; however, if you Google it every photo on the 'net is more interesting than this image!
