23. Belgium #1

My third Winnie the Pooh postcard and the first postcard from Belgium. I simply adore the bee pattern on the edges of the card - poor Winnie is surrounded ;)

22. Nonpostcrossing #4

The White Tower in Gdansk.

21. Nonpostcrossing #3

Another depiction of the Stągiewna Gate (the Milk Can Gate) in Gdansk.

20. Nonpostcrossing #2

One of the famous gates of Gdansk - the Stągiewna Gate (also known as the Milk Can Gate), consisting of two asymmetrical defensive towers.

19. Nonpostcrossing #1

A cute teddy bear postcard - the original picture was mouth-painted by a disabled artist.

18. Russia #2

I open my mailbox and inside I find... the picturesque St. Petersburg - with the Tuchkov Embankment and the Stock Exchange Bridge.

17. China #1

After Taiwanese Tuesday comes Chinese Wednesday - a beautiful sepia view of Hong Kong sent by a girl living in Hangzhou.

16. Taiwan #1

And finally my first Asian experience - the Confucius Temple in Taipei, Taiwan.

15. Finland #3

Looks like my Winnie the Pooh collection is expanding - this lovely bear arrived from Finland.

14. USA #3

The California State Capitol located in Sacramento, CA.

13. Germany #3

The Russian airliner IL-86 on a postcard sent by Kerstin from Germany.

12. Netherlands #2

Traditionally dressed Dutch girls in the beautiful surroundings of blooming Keukenhof gardens.

11. Germany #2

A German multiview postcard depicting the city of Bückeburg.

10. USA #2

An absolutely brilliant Japanese postcard sent from the USA. Pity it's a bit ragged on the edges (which fortunately doesn't show on the scan), probably due to the way the postal sorting machines handle cards.

9. United Kingdom #1

One of the beaches on the Isle of Gigha (Scotland) with a view of Eilean Garbh and the Paps of Jura.

8. Ukraine #1

The "Jubilee" stadium in Sumy, Ukraine - one of my favourites.

7. Russia #1

A flower postcard from Albina, Russia - a bit disappointing (as I'd rather receive a viewcard) but still appreciated (I'm grateful for all the cards I get).

6. Finland #2

A train-themed postcard from Finland - looks a bit like an 80s B-rated movie poster.

5. Germany #1

And here's my first Winnie the Pooh postcard, which came from Germany.

4. Netherlands #1

I'm fond of Japan and all things Japanese, so - to my delight - Mary from the Netherlands decided to send me a card with Maneki Neko (the famous Japanese Welcoming Cat).

3. Finland #1

An adorable Finnish postcard which inspired me to start collecting hedgehog-themed cards.

2. USA #1

Indianapolis skyline featuring the State Capital Building.

1. Spain #1

My first ever postcrossing postcard - a vintage card from Spain.
