I wonder if it is a boring postcard or an iconic view?  Postcard from the mid 1960s.

Postcard from the village Manieczki, located about 30 kilometres south of Poznan (Posen). Museum in a historic manor house dedicated to Józef Wybicki, the creator of the Polish anthem. The museum in the time of socialism in Poland was created by Combinat State Farms in Manieczki (Kombinat Państwowych Gospodarstw Rolnych - PGR). Postcard from the late of 1980s.

THREE BORING HOTEL POSTCARDS FROM FRANCE

1. Hotel Provençal, Villefranche-Sur-Mer (1984)

2. L'Hotel Thérond, St Germain-de-Calberte (1973)

This must be one of the very few postcards of those days that didn't include a Citroen 2CV

3.Hotel Monsigny (2 stars), near the station in Nice

Just one more postcard for children - with persons from popular Polish fairy tale for children "Miś Uszatek" (about little bear). Postcard about 1979 year.

Digging deeper into my collection - I found a card that I hadn't sent off to Val via post. It's the Memorial Unit, Grace-New Haven Community Hospital in New Haven, Connecticut, USA. I find this satisfyingly boring.
