About The Postcard:
The Light house Tankar
Prior to the construction of the lighthouse there was only the previously mentioned stone landmark and pole as well as a lit beacon maintained by the fi shermen. This was a small cabin with its windows towards the sea and a round fi replace in the centre of the room. Seafarers were able to take their bearings using the fi re’s light.

Great Wall of China
The Stamp
The Great Wall of China is a series of fortifications made of stone, brick, tamped earth, wood, and other materials, generally built along an east-to-west line across the historical northern borders of China to protect the Chinese states and empires against the raids and invasions of the various nomadic groups of the Eurasian Steppe. Several walls were being built as early as the 7th century BCE; these, later joined together and made bigger and stronger, are now collectively referred to as the Great Wall. Especially famous is the wall built 220–206 BCE by Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of China. Little of that wall remains. Since then, the Great Wall has on and off been rebuilt, maintained, and enhanced; the majority of the existing wall is from the Ming Dynasty.

About The Postcard: St. Michael's Church was built as an monastery church, or Minster, under Bishop Bernward from 1010 to 1022 and was finally completed and officially consecrated by Bishop Godehard in 1033. St. Michael's Church is an impressive example of Romanesque-Ottonian architecture. At first glance, one cannot help but notice the clear, geometric forms, which characterize the outer appearance with an austere symmetry. ♥ ♥ ♥
