Netherlands

Today, I received this postcard from the Netherlands.


It's beautiful, isn't it?  And yes, the postcard is square-shaped!


The sender said that this postcard depicts an old part of the city of Groninger, which is the capital of the province with the same name.  He explained that provinces can be compared (more or less) to our states here in the U.S.A., except that provinces are much smaller.


He also told me that the ship on the right-hand side is an old freighter...the type that has been used in their canals and lakes.


He adhered two fabulous postage stamps, too!  ~Sorry...no photograph of those.  :/
