I rarely join this theme, hehe. In 2016 i finally joined the group in Postcrossing forum. My member group are from Indonesia, Germany, Canada and Taiwan. I used the postcard from Raja Ampat island and same stamps from year 2016. The Germany used Lake Bodensee stamp. The Taiwan used two beautiful stamps from some lake ( dunno the name, sorry). And Canada used nature phenomenon stamps, there are snow, thunder and rainbow. So beautiful chain J

It was interesting theme indeed. I joined the group in 2016 on Postcrossing forum. The group member are Indonesia, Germany, Hong Kong, and China. I used the stamps from year 2015 about the Kalimantan Utara province. It’s the newest province in Indonesia and we get the stamps to commemorate it. It’s about Bulungan legend. The Germany stamp show Till Eulenspiegel. The Hong Kong stamps show the tale of The Man who moved mountain and The Tortoise and the Hare. The China stamps show tale about monkey and mermaid.

This group also from forum Postcrossing in 2015. Indonesia don’t have the firefighter stamp so i used the stamp from year 2015, UN world conference on disaster risk reduction. It’s another great theme that i took part and i love the theme so much. The member of the group are Indonesia, Germany, China and Ireland. I really love how this chain card turn to this beauty :D.

This chain card is from 2015 in forum Postcrossing. At that time i really confused about the stamps that i should use cos i really want to participate in this theme. And finally decided to used the 50 years television in Indonesia stamps from year 2012. I think it would cover the development area, 50 year a go Indonesia only had the black and white TV and now we have flat TV, hehe. This group have member from Indonesia, Germany, China and Japan.

The Germany stamps are  from Kiel university and Fahrenheit scale, it definitely cover the science part hehe. China use stamps from research and science area. It’s picture of satelite and game i think. And Japan use telecommunication stamps. All are beautiful :D

Actually I begging to Irish for this kind of card with my favorite poet picture, but they don’t have it, so I really surprised when I got it from Germany, hehehe.

William Butler Yeats is Irish poet, my favorite ever, haha ( even I have fish I named after him :p). He born in 13 June 1865 and died in 28 January 1939. He , with Lady Gregory, Edward  Martyn, and others are the founder of Abbey Theatre.

He was senator for Ireland. In 1923 he was awarded the nobel prize in literature as the first Irishman so honoured. He’s so adorable, very romance, hehe. I really fallin in deep love with his poem and poetry. And sure my favorite one is The Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven J. But I also enjoy the winding stair and others J.

Thank you for the really big surprise on my mailbox Brigit. It really made my day, and till now, this card still one of my favorite ever J.

Timber framing are method of building with heavy timbers rather than lumber,. Half timbered is a lattice of panels filled with a non loadbearing material infill of brick noggin or wattle andaud ( or similar methods), the frame is often exposed on the outside of the building. Usually the German fachwerkhaus has a foundation of stone or sometimes brick up to several feet and then the timber frame work  supports an irregular wodden sill. The benefits of the construction are : rapidly erected, lend itself well to prefabrication, lends well to be pre- fitting the frame, the frame can be encased, it can be tailored to suits customer, it can use recycled etc. But this also have disadvantage such us, slanting, poor prevention of cappilary movement of water, eaves that are too narrow or non- existent, too much exterior detailing that does not allow adequate rainwater run- off, noise from footsteps, wood burn etc.

So with all the list above, maybe it's not good to build that kind of home in indonesia, hehe. 

Many thank you Jutta for this postcard!!!
