This Group celebtrates Boring, ordinary, dull, commercial Postcards that feature aspects of our everyday life – such as streets, roads, houses -- and are, in a strange way, interesting because they are so uninteresting. Join in and share your Postcards of our Boring world.

From time to time we have outbreaks of whether a Postcard is Boring, or not.“Yes it is”. “No it isn''t.”“All Postcards are Boring.” “All Postcards are interesting”.And so on, and so forth.So, LET'S TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENTAnnouncingINTERESTING…Continue

BATTLE AXES.....CONTINUING RAPHAEL'S MILITARY THEME....AND, AS THIS IS A GREEK POSTCARD, WE CAN EAGERLY AWAIT KATERINA'S COMMENTS
These are "Golden double axes from the sacred cave of Arkalochori (LM 1 period)" from the Museum of Herakleoin which contains a number of double-headed gold axes that were found in a cave in 1600.
The Postcard was not sent, but the reverse side is date stamped 01. 6. 92 at 12.01 -- presumably when it was bought.
(What were you doing at that precise moment?!)
Over to you Katerina....
WEDDING CEREMONY, CASABLANCA, MOROCCO
I can't work out who is marrying whom, or even how many marriages are taking place, but, and after periods of long reflection, I have come to the conclusion that all the brides are dressed in white, all the bridegrooms are also dressed in white, and the people dressed in other colours provide the cabaret.
A boring image to be sure... but the article that accompanies it certainly isn't: Answer on Postcard: Footprints in Time and Space
PATIENTS PATIENTLY WAITING BEFORE THE POOLS AT LOURDES, FRANCE
LES BEAUX SITES LANDAIS
The entrance to the Camp at Biscarosse-Plage, France, where Christine sent this card to her friend Mireille in Dijon in 1988, and telling her that she was having an 'agriable vacance'.
WINE PRESS, CHATEL-SUR-MOSELLE, FRANCE
'Pressoir bourguignon' in the arsenal at the Fortress of the Comtes de Vaudémont. The Fortress was built between the 11th-15 centuries, and the barrels seem to be almost that old. Not a bottle of wine in sight though..
The Postcard was sent in July 1985 by Solange to her family. She had a lot to say, but I can't read her writing, except that she says she will phone tomorrow evening (assuming the Postcard reaches her Chére Maman in time)
