To open my mailbox like someone opening a surprise box and to feel the pleasure of discovery unleashed by an envelope decorated with stamps.
To be part of the world and also to discover it this way, with the help of those who share this vision.

I have never been to New York, but like a pretty large number of the world's population I was able to identify  almost all of the features on this very nice card I got right from the city it announces. Thanks a lot, Linda.  Very nice postcard!

The Statue of liberty, Brooklyn bridge, One World Trade Center,  Empire State Building, One Vanderbilt, ?,  40 Wall street and Chrysler Building... 7 out of 8... not a bad score, even if I confess I had to look up the list of tallest skyscrapers of New york in Wikipedia, because without checking I could only identify the very distinctive art deco lines of the Chrysler Building.


For postage, Linda used a "Forever" Chrysanthemum self-adhesive Stamp, issued as a single stamp on 24APR2020.


The machine applied cancellation identifies the mailing local as the city on the postcard... the city that never sleeps, it's said...New York.
