3 postcards venting my frustrations about living in a car centric dull suburban city.
Image and text ID under the cut
[Text ID:
Postcard 1: There is something very sinister about the emptiness of suburbia. It is defined by a lack of everything. No trees, no buildings, no people.
Postcard 2: Flat emotionless concrete, stretched out for miles. You do not see the people hidden in their private carriages, protected in palaces so fortified they might as well not exist.
Postcard 3: To fight isolation, they suggest stepping outside. But you find nothing.]
[Image ID: A set of 3 postcards, with an illustration on the front and writing on the back of each.
The first image is of a yellow surrealist landscape with distorted traffic lights throughout, and a winding path that leads to a blue city in the distance. There is a simplified figure facing towards the city.
The second image is a blue city street with liquified distorted buildings, leading towards an orange glow in the distance. The figure is facing towards the horizon.
The third is an orange desert landscape with a large tree in the foreground and the character resting on it.]

Butterfly …symbolic gift of wings
Gem-set and diamond brooch, circa 1900 Designed as a butterfly, the head and thorax respectively set with a step-cut sapphire and an emerald and oval and pear-shaped diamonds, the wings set with variously shaped rubies, opals, emeralds and diamonds.
The XVIII Duke de Plasencia and Doña María de la Concepción lived during the very troubled and politically unstable years of the Spanish Civil War. They first met in Madrid on the terrace of the Hotel Universal in 1931 and it was love at first sight, however, the political situation separated them: the Duke took refuge in the Rumanian Embassy while Doña María de la Concepción moved to San Sebastian. Only twenty years later did they manage to formalise their union in holy matrimony in the famous Chapel of Santiago de Compostela. This butterfly brooch was a present from the Duke to Doña María de la Concepción when during this very difficult period they managed on one occasion to meet in Biarritz, it was a symbolic gift to give her wings to escape the difficult political situation and a sign of a mutual oath and commitment to each other.

I need everyone to know that the ship Götheborg, the world's largest ocean-going wooden sailing ship, answered a distress call the other day.
Imagine waiting for the coast guard or whatever to show up and instead a replica of 18th century merchant ship pulls up and tows you to the coast.
