[NO.68] Blindweed@RUSSIA

This is from Alyona, a Russian girl. (Arrival @ 13 September 2012)

She bought this postcard from the Solovetsky Islands* when she had a trip to there.

The picture shows the Solovetsky monastery with a cow.

It's nice. Thank you so much.

Stamps

The stamps are the same series as last time she sent to me.

(You can refer to the article [NO.52] Blindweed@RUSSIA)

I like these stamps sooo much.

She replies,

Well, about stamps :) This stamp seria is called "Russian head-dresses". So, on the stamp with a woman it's written "nakolka" (traditional head-dress of women who lived in Arkhangelsk region at the end of the 19th - beginning of the 20th century); and on the stamp with a man it's written "zimnjaja shapka" (winter hat) which was worn by russian men who lived in the north of the european part of Russia at the end of the 19-th century. 

I misunderstood them at all. They are just models for those traditional head-dresses. Ha~ so interesting.
