Curonian Spit, Lithuania

I posted about the Lithuanian part of the Curonian Spit once...but that was long long ago, so here is a small reminder...plus the cards are really beautiful, it is a shame to leave them at the bottom of some box or drawer.

LT-341010

First one is an official received in 2013, showing the Great Dune. Nida is located on the Curonian Spit between the Curonian Lagoon and the Baltic Sea, and is the westernmost point of Lithuania and the Baltic states 

the stamp is from a set of two Lithuanian Red Book stamps issued in 2013, showing birds. On this one you can see the Tawny Pipit.

I received this second card also in 2013 as part of the Choose a Country RR. This reminds me that I haven't taken part in a RR in ages and it seems it's gonna stay that way for a while =/ Mainly cos of financial reasons, plus my general procrastinating habit, so I believe it aint fair to be engaging in activities that I cannot respond to properly.
Anyways...the card shows the Grabštas cape, that's also part of the Curonian Spit.

the stamp is from a set of two issued in 2009, portraying the Preserve the Polar Regions and Glaciers subject.

Curonian Spit, Lithuania

When i went to the post office yesterday, the man at the desk looked at me, and said 'Hi, long time no see!'...having in mind that i really hadnt been to THAT post office for months, i was more than surprised to see that he remembers me...obviously i have left an impression with the pile of mail i send, and obviously im the only one who does that, so im the talk of the town, or in this case, the post offices :)
Well, i can just add another post office, to the list of ones where im a familiar face :)

I really like this card! Such nice sand formations!
The Curonian Spit is a 98 km long, thin, curved sand-dune spit that separates the Curonian Lagoon from the Baltic Sea.
According to Baltic mythology the Curonian Spit was formed by a strong girl, Neringa, who was playing on the seahore. This child also appears in other myths (in some of which she is shown as a young strong woman, similar to a female version of the Greek Heracles).
Right now, the Curonian Spit  is home to the highest moving (drifting) sand dunes in Europe. Their average height is 35 m, but some attain the height of 60 m.

And it has been added on the UNESCO whs list as well, so another UNESCO card in my collection! Yippie!
