This weekend's Postcards for the Weekend theme is 'lighthouses'.
Today I'll share three of the lighthouses of the Dutch Wadden Sea Islands.
In my live I've visited only two of these islands (the largest island, Texel, and the smallest inhabited one, Schiermonnikoog).
This lighthouse is the only Wadden lighthouse I've ever seen in real so far. It is named 'Eierland' and is located on the island Texel:
The Brandaris is located on the island Terschelling, and is the oldest lighthouse in the Netherlands:
This card I received from Alvin, who added a matching stamp on the back side:
Finally a photo of the lighthouse of Ameland:
And a drawing, created many years ago to send to Eva:
(The original got lost in the post, but fortunately I had scanned it and then had postcards printed from it.)
See what more lighthouses on postcards other mail lovers have chosen at and via this weekend's Postcards for the Weekend!
Heleen received more postcards than the 'postcrossing wall' was able to carry. Also she received - and sent - postcards besides postcrossing cards. Where to collect them? Well, here, of course! Heleen ontving méér kaarten dan op de 'postcrossing wall' pasten. Ook ontving en stuurde zij kaarten buiten postcrossing om. Maar waar moesten die kaarten nu verzameld worden? Nou, hier, natuurlijk.

How nice to see again that postcard! The very first you sent to me, errr... eight years ago?! Actually, I received the second, as the first was lost.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThe rest of lighthouses of the post, also thanks to you, aren't new to me.

VerwijderenHi Heleen, Sure enjoyed your lighthouse postcards and the stamps too! Thanks for sharing your interesting blog. Hope you have a fine week ahead!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThank you very much for your kind comment, John!
VerwijderenThe last one is very cute! Thank you for sharing your postcards and your lighthouse artwork. It's very smart of you to save a scan of it!
