Got a great big B&W card from Anand yesterday. A nicely lit shot of Hogwarts Castle.
All the way across the planet from the UK and no damage whatsoever; not even a bent corner!
Postmarked Nov 10th, it took a bit under a month to travel here: Flying distance (lucht afstand): 18,349 km (11,402 mi)
Thanks Anand

Hello Mike, I am glad you got it in one piece and you have liked the image

I hope you stick around a bit at least for challenges like these.

Nice to see cards are still landing. I will post my original shots in the next day or two.

Fred, your card still has not arrived, unfortunately. I wonder where it got stuck. Post your original when you get a chance ... would love to see it.

I thought I had already received all the cards I was supposed to get, but today's mail delivery brought one more card...



Looks like my scanning did not capture the details of that photo that well, but in the real life the picture looks much sharper. And in general the card is in perfect condition, the only complaint I can think of is that smudgy postmark...

#2 Hoorn harbour (sent to Howard)



#3 Grass (obviously sent to MiPr )

I rec'd a card several days ago from maccroft of Aydon Castle. The glossy card arrived in near perfect condition (minor corner blemish in the upper right), taking 13 days to arrive from across the pond.

Hi Folks ... it's that time of year again! I wanted to gauge interest in having another Dyxum Postcard Exchange this year.

If we have some traction, we can create a new 2022 DPE sign up thread in the coming week.

Let me know what you think! I'm always game to help coordinate.
