Weekend Postcards: A Touch of Magic

The postcards dropping in this week all had a touch of magic to them,
one way or another…

It's magic time...

From Maria in Singapore:
A “more-cute-than-spooky” Halloween greeting

De lezende kip

From Jarina in the NL: De lezende kip / Reading Hen
(gevelsteen/gable stone from Amsterdam)

Gable stones came into use in the 16th century, in the days before house numbers, taking over from hanging signs as a way of --- identifying and adorning a house. The tradition is alive and has moved with the times – new stones are still commissioned, and in Amsterdam, many old ones have been conserved. [Wikipedia]

Manarola, Cinque Terre, Italy

From Ginny:
Manarola, Cinque Terre, Italy (in magic evening light)

Mersey Morning Ferry

From GB: The Mersey Morning Ferry, Liverpool
(in magic morning mist)

181020-181023 from John

From John: Landscape of the Albert Dock, Liverpool - “bathed in winter sunshine”
(photograph, but reminds me of paintings by William Turner)

The Liverpool cards also came with magic Harry Potter stamps Smile

  4. I love ALL of them!! I did not know about Gable Stones, this is a cool thing to find out. Favorites are mine, of course (thanks!). And the Mersey Ferry, with a lone seagull in the fog. Remember that song, by Gerry & The Pacemakers?

  5. I got to the Cinque Terre post card and was looking closely because I was there six years ago. Then I saw the Mersey ferry and the Albert Dock and it was quite strange looking at them on your blog.
