Although I receive a lot of cards from Germany (like all the other postcrossing members), I only get cards from Berlin every once in a while. This time it shows Berlins television tower in the background and a traffic light in the foreground.

The Bastei Bridge

Yay - another card from my list of favorites. The card shows the Bastei Bridge in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains. What a wonderful view! The sandstone bridge was built in 1851 and replaced a wooden one. The Elbe Sandstone Mountains are located in the state of Saxony, in the eastern part of Germany.

This wonderful map card from Monika shows the Palatinate Forest in southwestern Germany. It's probably one of Germany's most beautiful areas.

Betty - by Gerhard Richter, 1988

Thank you card
I also received a thank-you-card from Gabriel today. The card shows a painting by Gerhard Richter. On its back it says:
"The artist's daughter Betty is painted with photographic detail. She sits very near to the surface of the picture, as in a close-up camera shot. The painting could not really be called a portrait of Betty, however, as it teaches us very little about her. Richter has chosen to paint his daughter as she turns away; her face is invisible. Instead he has concentrated on the red, white and pink patterns of her jacket and dress, and her hair gathered at the back of her head. Richter has undermined accepted notions of painting and representation, giving us a painting that looks like a photograph, a portrait that literally turns its back on convention. Continually discovering new ways of expression, Richter's work is extremely diverse. The wall in the background of this painting resembles some of the very different abstract works that Richter creates. These monochrome, thickly painted canvases evoke sadness and despair and were executed in response to the Vietnam war."

Ever since I knew Gerhard Richter, I loved his paintings! Stunning!
Thanks Gabriel for the amazing card. Made my day!
