Cable Bay in Saint Kitts

This beautiful sight over Cable Bay in Saint Kitts is my second postcard from this fantastic island in the West Indies. For hundreds of years, St. Kitts operated as a sugar monoculture, but due to decreasing profitability, the government closed the industry in 2005. Tourism is a major and growing source of income to the island, and when you see this view, it's not hard to conclude why people go there. Definitely on my wish list.

Again is mini sheet used for postage, this time orchid Psychilis atropurpurea, issued on 18.09.2001.


Thank you Wolfgang!

Saint Kitts: Church in Basseterre

This is my first postcard from Saint Kitts, an island in the West Indies. The west side of the island borders the Caribbean Sea, and the eastern coast faces the Atlantic Ocean. Saint Kitts and the neighbouring island of Nevis constitute one country: the Federation of Saint Kitts and Nevis. Saint Kitts and Nevis are separated by a shallow 3-kilometre channel known as "The Narrows".

On this postcard you can Immaculate Conception Co-Cathedral Catholic Church in capital city Basseterre, one of the oldest towns in the Eastern Caribbean.

It's rare to see mini sheet used for postage, and it's always wonderful! This is mushroom Lepiota procera, issued on 18.09.2001.


Thank you Wolfgang!
