Gimli, Lord of the Rings

YAY! A postcard of Gimli, the Dwarf in the group of 9 folk

who went on the quest to save Middle Earth. Actually I wonder

why is it that Czech Republic has so many of the Lord of the Rings 

postcards when the movies were filmed in New Zealand. This card

comes without a stamp and uses the STS system, "Student to Student"

I think it works mostly for Europe but it's nice to see that it can also

make its way to Malaysia.

Thank to Zuzana from PostcardUnited for this great card!

Trollfotografen

81 Trollfotografen by Rolf Lindberg

Rolf Lidberg Jonas (May 26, 1930 in Järkvissle, Sweden – 15 February 2005) was a Swedish artist and botanist, best known for his watercolor paintings and books with paintings of trolls depicting their life near Sweden's Indal river. In his illustrations, his trolls were very human, and usually occupied with something in nature, such as berry or mushroom picking, fishing, or gazing up in the sky. His books have been translated into 12 different languages.

Lidberg's main interest was botany, especially orchids and fungi. He was also a founder of a local mycological society in 1970, traveled around Europe to paint and draw vegetation, and spent long periods in Sicily, where he became an honorary citizen of the city Geraci Siculo.

Lidberg was known for having had hunchback and big beard, closely resembling the trolls that were one of his favorite subjects for illustration. He even named one of his famous troll illustrations, "Self-Portrait." In the early 1980s, Swedish national television channel SVT broadcast a series of three programs on Rolf Lidberg, titled, "A Man and His Flowers."

Thank you so much Marie for this wonderful card of Trolls by Rolf Lindberg.

I love seeing how happy the troll is in looking for his perfect shot.

Snow - Liz Kazakova

What I love about Russian postcards is that there is an endless

stream of art. It's great that Russian artists have postcards as a

platform to spread their art. This card is called Snow by Liz Kazakova,

an artist I've not come across. The beast in here looks like a werewolf

minotaur hybrid. Protecting the little girl from the dragons. Wondering

what the story is behind this!!

Thank you Dmitry
