Van Gogh's paintings



These wonderful postcards (at least to me, since I love Van Gogh) were sent by Jovi, from Hong Kong! The first one shows a famous painting of this great artist, the "Wheatfield with Crows", painted in July 1890, one of last paintings of Vicent Van Gogh; many people believe that it's the last painting from him, but there's not evidences which comprove this idea. "The Langlois Bridge at Arles with Women Washing" is shown on the second postcard, painted in 1888, it's one of most best loved paintings, acknowledged as the first masterpiece of his Arles period.

Hong Kong - Nathan Road


This postcard was sent by Ching Man! It shows a creation made up of many of the best neon signs on both sides of the harbour; many of the signs represent some of Hong Kong's best restaurants and night spots; the street is real and is Nathan Road in Kowloon (an urban area in Hong Kong), also known as "the Golden Mile", it's lined with shops, restaurants and throngs with tourists. The total length of Nathan Road is about 3,6 km.
