A lake in Finland.

I received this official postcrossing card from Finland. I am not sure of the name of the place in the card but the place doesn't seem beautiful.




The sender didn't write his/her name on the card . So ...thanks ,sender!

WWF card


This is a World Wildlife Fund (WWF) card sent from Finland. I am not sure of the place in the card though as it is not mentioned by the sender neither the card makers.


Interesting that the stamp used was a British stamp, so obviously the postage was paid by other method. Nice stamp though, Harry Potter! Thank you Kiti for sending this card!!

Blue cross flag

The blue cross flag of Finland. Blue according to Ritva ,who sent this card represents lakes and sky and white -the white nights of Finnish summer.





Really nice stamps used. I also like the sticker with the value of 0.05 euros. I only have seen cards from Finland with these stickers, they are a nice innovation indeed. The cancellation marks are really good. Lappenpanta- 15.04.08. Thanks Ritva!!

Helsinki


This is an official postcrossing card. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out the name of the sender. However, according to the sender it is a national pastime in Finland to take cruise ships to Estonia and Sweden. Wow, the Finns certainly know how to have some fun.







A nice stamp and a visible cancelation mark that clearly shows that the card was canceled in Helsinki Helsingforg on the 31st March of 2008. Thanks to however sent this, you know who you are!!
