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

..."photos downtown"?...yeah, I meant "autos".
...well, "thanks"! Sir Bradford. I am not impressed ( just what I was supposingly looking for???). But I do much admire your resourcefulness... & apparently (judging from the photos downtown ) not quite as old as I thought.
Boredom is an artist's or poet's greatest resource
29.07.20 Dare Mister Val M.H., ....I give up. The B&W photo postcard of an old high school & gymnasium was sent to you in some sort of attempt to get your "Boring Postcards" back on track as "Boring Postcards". I painfully searched thru the archives (snicker, snicker) here for hours looking for the most uneventful & "ho-hum" postcard image I could find in an earnest effort to illustrate the "Uneventful" as there always seems to be exotic locales & or something exceptionally interesting about the postcards sent to your "Boring Postcards'. ...& what happens? Immediately, Ms. Jenn M. starts in about some great architectural motif. Artists are just too finely tuned or sensitive & aware & obviously do not have a clue in dealing with boredom.

Thoroughly enjoy the "High School Gymnasium," those are some great arches on that building.
6 MORE FROM MIKEL UNTZILLA
Whom we must thank for his never-ending sets of Boring Postcards
1. Cobocobana Beach, Rio de Janeiro (Brazil)
There is a game of beach football '(soccer' to y'all) being played that you can just about see in the middle of the Postcard -- Brazil vs Norway.
2. Mountain View, Advent Bay (Norway)
There's a football (soccer, etc) stadium center left where the 2nd leg of the Brazil vs Norway match will be played next week.
3. Geysers, Rotorua, NZ
"Rotorua is the center of an extensive area of thermal activity. It is noted for its Maori culture and is New Zealand's most popular tourist attraction". Visitors can also have a hot shower while they are there. (Visitors from Finland can, by arrangement, have a sauna.)
4. Estoril Parque, Portugal
Environmentally-friendly Portuguese transport? Not really, as the carriage on the right seems to be filling up at a BP petrol (gas to y'all) station.
5. Star Ferry, Hong Kong
Roxy Music -- and Brian Ferry -- once played here!
6. Boca do Inferno, Cascais, Portugal
Another one bites the dust
Thanks Donald's namesake, as the Queen (no, not that one; and not hen, either) says:
The 'get you' refers, I suppose, to what's in the mail.
May all your celery sticks be filled with crunchy peanut butter.

22.07.20 Dare Mister Val M.H., ....Oh! No, no, no, no. Richard bowed out & or limped away away years ago. I, too, was only attempting to add to your volunteer duties (as I hope was made clear in my so-called "letter" [a coupla postcards enclosed]). Please proceed as so inclined. SinCelery, Richard Canard
