THREE ORE FROM MIKEL UNTZILLA

Thanks once again Mikel!

1. Partial View of Yungay Town, Peru

"...in the background the snow-covered Huascaràh".

It's only a 'partial view of the town', and I wonder what bits of it we don't get to see?

2. Cross Harbour Tunnel

"The exit and entrance of the Cross Harbour Tunnel with Hong Kong Island in the background."

The red and white double decker busses took the wrong exit when coing out of the Darford Tunnel in London.

3. Puenta de Valdeteja, La Vecilla, Leon, Spain

And not a bus in sight!

(Once again I ask myself, why on earth would anyone put this on a Postcard?)

22.08.20 Dare Val M. H., ...actually, I am somewhat surprised & must agree with Ms. Katerina N.   ....... I would not have guessed that a warehouse  & port of Thessaloniki would have  so closely resembled the  typical ports & warehouses in the the U.S....so, yeah!... "pretty boring".  SinCelery, Richard C.

WHAT CAN BE MORE BORING THAN A WAREHOUSE IN THE PORT OF THESSALONIKI?, Asks Katerina.

I was unable to sleep for several nights as I struggled with this, but then 'Eureka!' as to what could be more Boring than a Warehouse in the Port of Thessalonoki was obviously TWO Warehouses in the Port of Thessalonoki!

PS Thanks, Katerina!

Hello Bonniediva,

I'm collecting these Postcards for an IUOMA Exhibition, or two. So send me what you can spare -- the more Boring the Better -- as I am the self-appointed Boring Postcard Guardian.

I will 'spruce' up the least Boring, or send you something else back, but really I am collecting and cosolidating these Postcards and not really passing them on. But, as with Heleen and the sheep, there are exceptions; Regards, Val
