May is about to end but I still have some April's card to show. Last month the MFS RR cards came from Japan, Malaysia, Germany and the Netherlans.
Lake Chuzenji is a scenic lake in the mountains above the town of Nikko. It is located at the foot of Mount Nantai, Nikko's sacred volcano, whose eruption blocked the valley below, thereby creating Lake Chuzenji about 20,000 years ago.
Chuzenjiko is especially beautiful in mid to late October, when the autumn colors reach their peak along the lake's shores and surrounding mountains. - in: https://www.japan-guide.com/e/e3806.html
The card was sent by Tomoko.
This card was sent by C. K. and the picture was taken by his brother.
Seventeen kilometers from Kuala Lumpur stands a monument that seems to have been built by the gods themselves – the Batu Caves. Both a natural and man-made wonder, this holy monument incorporates both the stunning features of Malaysia’s limestone mountains and religious sculptures of the Hindu faith. - in: https://theculturetrip.com/asia/malaysia/articles/a-brief-history-of-the-iconic-batu-caves-in-malaysia/
A monastery in Bavaria sent by Marei.
Reisach Priory is a monastery of the Discalced Carmelites in Oberaudorf in Bavaria.
The priory, dedicated to Saint Theresa, was founded as Urfahrn Priory (Kloster Urfahrn) in 1731 by Johann Georg Messerer, a counsellor at the Bavarian court, and was built between 1737 and 1741 by Abraham Millauer and his son Philipp to plans by the master builder Johann Baptist Gunetzrhainer.
Urfahrn Priory was dissolved in 1802, during the secularisation of Bavaria.
In 1836-37, after failed attempts to establish a Franciscan community in the empty buildings, it was re-founded as Reisach Priory (Kloster Reisach) by a small group of Carmelites from Würzburg. - in: wikipedia

Marina brought me back some good memories of my 1st visit to the Netherlands with this lovely Kinderdijk card.
In the beautiful wetlands around Dordrecht, you will find the windmills of Kinderdijk. Nineteen beautiful windmills, built around 1740, stand here as part of a larger water management system to prevent floods. Today, they symbolise Dutch water management, and in 1997 they were declared to be UNESCO World Heritage.
The windmills of Kinderdijk were built to keep the low-lying lands of the Alblasserwaard dry. Facing each other, they form an iconic Dutch scene. You can also admire many waterways, dikes, mills and sluices and discover how the Dutch have been using water to their benefit for over 1000 years. - in: https://www.holland.com/global/tourism/destinations/provinces/south-holland/the-windmills-of-kinderdijk.htm
