Rhythmic Gymnast

Sender: ElinaM
"Flag Of Red"

A rhythmic gymnast performs with an equipment ie. a ribbon. I like to watch the women rhythmic gymnastics events at the Olympics. Top rhythmic gymnasts must have many qualities: balance, flexibility, coordination and strength and the ability to compete under intense pressure. Admire them so.

Skiers in the White Valley




Sender: Gaël
Text on card: "Skieurs Au Passage Des Séracs Dans La Vallée Blance"
Translated: Skiers passing seracs in the white valley (I think?)

Can you see the itsy-bitsy teenie-weenie skiers on the right side of the card? Eeee....I would not dare be like them and ski down the steep valley/slope/hill/ whatever! (As if I could ski!?!) And if I did, I would have left my tummy and bravado way up at the start and went all the way down yelling for my mother, (and perhaps triggering an avalanche! No!). 

Therefore, to save all the skiers in any ski steep slopes, Lufra has Magnanimously Decided Not To Venture in such extreme sports.  :-D
The sender himself, I presume! A happy Postcrosser!  :D

And this sticker, it made me laugh! :D

Australian Football


Sender: Merrill

This is an Aussie Rules (AFL) Football, officially known as the Australian Football. I did not realise that Australia has its own home-grown football and plays football with an oval ball on an oval shaped playing field. Postcrossing teaches me something new each time!

Merrill comes from Melbourne but supports the Sydney Swans team instead, which team colours are red and white.
