Card information : The postcard is a nice Black and White street photo of the Rota Flora, a former theatre in the Sternschanze quarter in Hamburg.

I received this card from Gabi and she writes...

"Wish : Black & White. Dear Nico, here you can see the building 'Rota Flora'. It is a cinema in Hamburg. This building is also used for exhibitions. It looks like a twin. It is not an old picture. It is in reality. It is used a lot ! Regards Gabi."

Germany - Greetings from Germany... euh Miami ? - #6

Postcrossing ID : DE - 4892586

Card information : To be honest, I don't like postcards with views from other cities than the country it's send from. This card I received from Germany and shows the Miami cruiseport and downtown in the U.S.A. ? I wonder if Germany hasn't nice cities from it's own to show to other people...

I received this card from Udo and he writes...

"Hi, here come the best wishes from Germany. Wish you all the best. Udo"


At least the stamp tells me something interesting about Germany. It's a nice photo of the Möhnestalsperre. A 100 year old dam with nice towers on it.
