About Claus...

Hi there!:-)

I live in Hamburg, a big city in the northern part of Germany.

I'm very much interested in languages, reading, creative writing, art, movies, music, and collecting postcards and stamps.

As to postcards, I'd prefer written ones (not in an envelope), and if possible with a nice stamp. If you don't know what to write, just copy a short poem or a proverb in your language!:)

In case you wonder what might catch my fancy, here are some hints:
- sacred places, religious buildings (like temples, shrines, mosques, synagogues, churches, monasteries ...), religious festivals or people (like monks, nuns, priests...)- no matter what faith or religion
- photos of writers or the places, where they lived and worked, or are buried
- UNESCO World Heritage Sites (http://whc.unesco.org/en/list)
- UNESCO Tentative List (http://whc.unesco.org/en/tentativelists/)
- rain, fog, mist
- snowy city-views
- cemeteries, grave-yards, tombs, and the like
- Vanitas-themes
- fine art photography
- whales
- wild birds
- a mongoose (anyone who finds a mongoose on a postcard for me will be rewarded with three cards as a thank you in return! :))
- shadows
- night views
- castles and ruins
- Kaj Stenvall (I have these already: http://forum.postcrossing.com/member.php?action=viewpro&member=elbe)
- Eurovision Song Contest

Surprise me with any card you like, but please tell me why you've chosen that particular card!:)

Please no ad/free/greeting or selfmade cards...

Thank you very much!

Happy Postcrossing!:)
