Finland, the land of a thousand lakes  and also green pastures, judging from the photos on the card Kerttu kindly sent me through Postcrossing. Thank you Kerttu.

Finland is on my list of countries to visit someday in the future. in good truth, the whole world is on my list of countries to visit, this being a perfect example of "wishful thinking" because I have the clear notion that the proposition dwelves in impossibility. Still, receiving mail from countries I have never been to does provide some consolation againt the realisation of the sad truth.... 

To post my card, Kerttu used a 1st class (no facial value) self-adhesive stamp issued on 08MAY

2015 with a "Golden Swan". 

I searched on the internet and came across a children's story called "The Golden Swan" which I presume the stamp does try to illustrate

The postmark wasmachine applied on the wrong face of the postcard, that is the front of the card, over the pictures on it. Other than Tammerfors, I cannot read the information on the daystamp.
