2023 Dyxum Postcard Exchange (DPE)!!

My second card arrived today, another coastal scene from Roger Rex



Severe scuffing I'd say, and I'd love to see the original. Together with the stick and the marks, and the indistinct breaking wave (yet the gulls are sharp) I'm not sure what's going on, but it feels like a Dali landscape at first glance.



But it's Oregon at its finest. Thanks, Roger!

Thanks, everyone, for posting so many of the postcards that have arrived. For me, so many ideas of places I want to visit now!

-- That building in Potsdam looks like camshafts.
-- The glass museum in Seattle ... I've been meaning to go.
-- The Oregon coast image is so cool ... I haven't spend much time in Oregon

Interesting to see how some stamps have no cancellation mark (like my card to Harm), but my card to Fred has what I expect to see.

I'm at 5 of 9 sent have arrived. I have received one card so far. No rush!

As promised my scans from the three cards received so far

From Bonnville:





Thanks Brian, it seems a good place for photography workshops!
Are you the instructor there?
Bonuspoints for the DPE sign on the back!


From Roger Rex




A beautiful picture and composition Roger. There is a clear scuff mark on the front, but that part of the game here


And from ADub128




My pleasure to organize this with you Art!
A beautiful bouquet. I wish I had a florist as friend!

Received my first card yesterday (an extra large one from waldo_posth); 23 September to 2 October, Potsdam to Tallahassee, Florida (US). Hardly a scuff or tear, just a little corner peeling.

I'm seeing wavy ink lines at least in the stamp on the right: on the silhouette of His Majesty The King and on the chest of Shirley Bassey. So, I would not try stamp fraud with these...

I received my first card, an "extra" from Brian/@bonneville. It's in very good shape, bigger than 4x6, a 5x7 print. Only some light corner damage and a scuff on the image side that only can be seen if the card is held at an angle.
The stamps, of singer Shirley Bassey, are not canceled, so perhaps could be used again, LOL.

It's a black and white film shot of Willoughby Gallery, near where Brian lives. I love all the little details in the shot -- roof tiles, the foreground plants, clouds above. Thanks, Brian!

Impressive shot, would it be possible to see the original?

I would like to learn how to take such pictures:)
