Comment: the postcards with dogs are lovely - they are shown rescuing people in the mountaineous Pyrenean Region - the dog families with a dog mother and puppies are lovely.

indexenglish: "Thank you for visiting my webpage! Welcome to my postcard and penpal homepage!!!
Hello, my name is Ana Carolina. I am a 22 year-old-girl from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
I created this page on May 14th, 2003. I have many hobbies, and the main ones are: collecting postcards, penpaling and taking care of my dogs.
Collecting postcards is very interesting because besides being the cheapest way to know places from all over the world, it is also a nice opportunity to make new friends worldwide. I have about 900 international postcards and 500 from Brazil. I collect them for 2
years and a half .
The limit of storage allocation in geocities is too small to allow me
to scan all my postcards and that is why I will only scan some cards from Brazil."
a lovely site, with the postcard featuring the point zero of equator lying in Brazil where the colletor Ana and her dogs live - very good structure and again the tendency to collect the mints - e g not written and stamped on the back as she puts it.
The philatelic habit is gradually wearing off inspired by postcards and noticeably the postcard lovers do not realize the specific strength of their hobby - the exchange of a few postcrds at the same time sent in envelopes seems to be the cause. Then, please keep the envelope within your collection, will you - this is a recommendation and in less then 10 years you will see the value of these envelopes growing up more quickly than of the collection itself - you may then remember this blog and my admonishing - so unpleasant at present. This is rather a humble and kind encouragement, isn't it?

Comment - yet another kind and manner of the postcard - teeming with originality - and what makes the postcard different from a greeting card? The simplest of those key features is that a postcard has its stamps on it and postal services stamps prints as well and gives the feeling of distance in time and place that only a postcard can cover survive unscathed.

Yahoo! Photos - Maps
Yahoo! Photos - MapsI have explored ginte's site, after he has sent me somewhat strange email, published along with my reply below, and found, that there is a small discrepancy in the list of maps of Lithuania - nr 4 is no map but it is a landscape with lovely trees: and now Ginte's email, which should rather be submitted as his comment. Please read below:And its my choice to express my opinions - remember we are not in the Third Reich - anyway I am glad to have your opinion and it will be given in full for others to decide on my blog - welcome to it and place your comments here - I would TREASURE YOUR FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION unlike you mine.
A few minutes ago I submitted my request for membership in his group. Now I am impatiently awaiting his decisions on the fate of a person of different taste and maybe RACE.

Ginte's Postcards
Ginte's PostcardsSo far I have about 1000 postcards in my collection from all over the world and the ammount is still growing thanks to many people and friends.
If you want to trade postcards with me, just drop me an e-mail.
I collect:
- new, nice and unwritten postcards
and this is a bone I have to pick with you - The postcard is a witness of time. The postal services give the print of the time, touch of distance to them. I do strongly challange the idea of 'unwritten, not used, nice postcards' - This is an out-of date criterion set on philatelic resources and in auctions with stamps there is the tendency to collect the whole item - i e the envelope or postcard with all its marks as it goes through the postal delivery services. This gives much more taste, feel of time, originality to every collection and the uniqueness is the highest criterion of any collection - in turn, this gives the input data for assessing the commercial value. The time of 'never hinged, mint' stamp or postcards is gradully passing with the advent of digital tachnologies where no limits are given to the quality of an immage, but the distict imprint of time and distance on the item, on the postcard cannot be generated by computers, those few words on the back written by a person, good or bad, cannot be repalced by ink jet rainbow letters which can be repeated for infinite number of times in the quality where there is no more copy and original. This is WHY I do ADVOCATE STRONGLY COLLECTING AND TRADING BY POST - THE POSTCARDS adn STAMPS. This is a document of our time packed with info in comaprison with a mint, beautiful, never used, not inscribed and written upon postcards, which are perfect but less historically authentical, original and as a result less attractive to a collector who loves all this on his or her collection.
Every postcards is a small antiquity even if a few years old - we should keep in mind that collection are for our posteriority. What do you think?
