Monthly Fav. Surprise RR * January '21

January and February's MFS RR cards didn't took that long to arrive to my mailbox but 2 of my cards are still traveling, both to USA. My last cards to USA took forever to get there, more than a month but these cards are taking even more than that!! 

Frankfurt am Main has Germany’s largest Christmas market as well as its tallest Christmas tree. The tallestt houses in Germany are in Frankfurt, which is why the tree should always be the tallest in the country. It is usually 30 meters high and over 100 years old. 

This winter view of Romerberg was sent by Birgit.

Sofiankatu is a short alley between the Senate Square and Market Square, and among the oldest streets in Helsinki dating back to 1640's.

I've been there in 2019, trying to take a picture like this one sent by Mari.

Iris said she already sent me all her church cards, now she sent a mosque. Church, mosque, I don't mind, any religious building is ok for me.

Blue Mosque (Sultanahmet Mosque) is one of the most beautiful mosques and landmarks in both Istanbul and the world. Blue Mosque was built in the 17th century (1603-1617) by Sedefkar Mehmet Aga with the order of Sultan Ahmet I.

Located in the Sultanahmet neighborhood of Fatih district, along the Sultanahmet Sqaure, the Blue Mosque is a great sample of the Turkish and Islamic architecture and one of the most visited sights and mosques in Istanbul . It can also be considered as a triumph of harmony, proportion and elegance. - in: https://istanbeautiful.com

I believe this is my 1st card from this American National Park. Kae has been there on hiking trip. 

At 110 feet high, Otter Cliff, in Acadia National Park, is one of the most spectacular sights along the North Atlantic Seaboard. 

The park is located along the mid-section of the Maine coast, southwest of Bar Harbor. It preserves about half of Mount Desert Island, part of the Isle au Haut, the tip of the Schoodic Peninsula, and portions of 16 smaller outlying islands. The park preserves the natural beauty of the rocky headlands, including the highest mountains along the Atlantic coast. The park boasts a glaciated coastal and island landscape, an abundance of habitats, a high level of biodiversity, clean air and water, and a rich cultural heritage. - in: wikipedia
