6. Sarah Beth, USA (US-3821637) - "Greetings from America! This sunrise is from the Southwest. I went out there on a road trip a few years ago. I never knew I would love the desert so much. The canyons & dunes and sand and colors are nesarly indescribable. (I'm not a hot weather kind of girl but it wasn't bad.) I'm getting into photography so much, got a beautiful camera for Christmas and taking a couple classes. Wishing you a happy healthy 2016!"

7. Thomas of Hamburg, Germany (DE-4915180, the last photo below) - "Hi Wak, I hope you are well. The picture which you see is near the harbour in Hamburg. Hamburg is a beautiful city in Germany. You can do a lot of activities. All the best! Regards." Note: I feel strange about this postcard because Thomas put it inside an envelope. Why cannot he just write my address on the postcard, paste the stamp and mail to me without the envelope? Anyway, thank you for the postcard.

Another note. So, today I created a new label called 'Mastika: Weird & Strange' postcards I received due to the nature of not usually normal.
