Saturn's Moons, Enceladus and Tethys

Enceladus and Tethys
Two of Saturn's moons were lined up when Cassini captured this image with its narrow-angle camera, which was aimed at the unlit side of Saturn's rings. Enceladus, in the foreground, is roughly 313 miles (504 kilometers) across, while Tethys is 660 miles (1,062 kilometers) across.

This was postmarked in 2018 with two stamps.

The Quay House, Smallest House in Great Britain

The Smallest House in Great Britain

This vintage postcard is unused.

- - - - - - -

The Smallest House in Great Britain, also known as the Quay House, is a tourist attraction on the quay in Conwy, Wales.

The tiny home was created in the 16th century and remained in use until 1900, when the tenant was a 6-foot-3-inch (1.91 m) fisherman named Robert Jones. The rooms were too small for him to stand up in fully and he was eventually forced to move out when the council declared the house unfit for human habitation. The house is still owned by his descendants.

The house has a floor area of 3.05 by 1.8 metres (10.0 by 5.9 ft). The ground floor is devoted to the living area with room for coal and an open fire, and a water tap tucked behind the stairs. The upstairs holds the cramped bedroom, which also comes with a small space for storage.

XL Motel in Sheridan, Wyoming

While here, we stopped at the X. L. Motel in Down-town Sheridan, Wyoming, and found the height of modern comfort in the heart of the Old West.  Located at the foot of the beautiful Big Horn Mountains, it's within easy driving distance of the historic Custer Battlefield and Crow Indian reservation.  Recommend by Duncan Hines.
