Kaunas


The central street in Kaunas, taken about some time ago apparently.  The sender tells me people dress very differently now.  They look fairly modern to me but I suppose I don't have the same perspective as an 18 year old girl.


The stamp is one I've received a few times now, Galileo Galilei, a physicist, mathematician and astronomer.  In fact I nearly trotted him out when the theme was astronomy.  He featured on one of the Lithuanian Europa stamps for 2009 when the theme was ..... astronomy!

  1. That's a fine stamp. I assume Kaunas is in Lithuania.
    The fashions look modern to me - but I'm only a man!

  2. Obviously an 18 year old eye sees more than mine. Is it 90s? At least I can tell the date of Galileo on the stamp:-)

  3. In the world of postcards, 1990s is very modern! It is nice to be able to see the styles people were wearing whenever that photo was made.

  4. Nice stamp! I have a few of this stamp as well and I like them a lot. I also wonder how they are dressed now because they look modern to me as well!

  5. I like the Galileo Galilei stamp. I am a medical physicist and I wish to add more stamps that have notable figures in the mathematics and scientific world.

    The only one that I have so far is a stamp of Marie Curie from France.

  6. I like the stamp,as well. I enjoy all stamps that are varied and interesting - and colorful!

    I guess, at 66, that postcard looks pretty modern to me. At least, they're no wearing butles or flapper outfits!
