Exposure (Pooping Man) in Lelystad, The Netherlands (International Postcard Week)

Exposure - Landart Antony Gormley
Lelystad, The Netherlands

Hello,
In our province (Flevoland) at this moment there are 8 land arts.  I have visited 7 of them and this is my favorite one.  Locally it is called the pooping man.  There are wonderful sunsets by this sculpture.  There is a new one coming this month.

Greetings,

Happy International Postcard Week! Hamburg, Germany

October 6-12, 2019
International Postcard Week

The sender writes:
Hamburg is a beautiful place, especially for a water person like me.  This card creates a very different kind of reality.  I'm a wave.  But it has it's own kind of beauty to it.  I wish you all the best!

This postcard was made by Noa from Germany.
