Postcards for the weekend: Lighthouses

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!

Postcards for the Weekend: Water

This weekend's theme for Postcards for the Weekend is 'Water in any form'.

A good opportunity to share this postcard, which Eva had sent me from Cádiz. I love bridges on postcards, and there where are bridges, most of the time there's water, of course.
And this multiview card shows a lot of water, in a variety of colours!



How nice to see stamps from the same city:



There is also water on maps. For example around the Wadden isle Texel (postcard sent to Eva),



The stamp I added shows more water around a kind of isle (in fact: a continent, Australia), water on a map:
