Thanks Jean, No the card doesn't break the new rules as it was not only as mailed' but also (I presume) 'as mailed and written on by the sender.

Here'sz another some of the same ilk: 'We live at 92a'

THREE MORE BORING POSTCARDS FROM KATERINA

Merci beaucoup, Katerina!

1. The Ant Hunter

This is 'The Ant Hunter'.

Or, Anthony (aka 'Ant') Hunter

Or Ant Hunter the Ant Hunter

Remember, "Ants' Lives Matter"

Or, "Ant's Life Matters"

2. Rodini Nenuphat, Rhodes Island, Greece

An action-packed, dynamic, Postcard. Alas, all that dynamic action is taking place under the water.

3. Storzeco Castle, Milan, Italy

Originally posted from Venzia to Thessaloniki in July 1977. Note the two Tiny Fiat 500s ('cinquecentos')

25.08.20 Dare Mister Val. M.H., ...I like these new rules.That's one of the things that I admire about your projects. You know what you are doing. Maybe one day soon,  we can all simply wander off  & just abandon " Boring Postcards" out of boredom. SinCelery, Richard Canard

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!
