Porer Lighthouse, Croatia



Today's theme on Sunday Stamps has inspired me to post this card which is all about Croatian Lighthouses :) I believe many involved in postcrossing are familiar with the image of Porer Lighthouse, built in 1846 and situated on an islet of the same name, 2 miles southwest of Istria's southernmost cape Kamenjak. The islet is mere 80 meters in diameter and the lighthouse goes up to 34 meters.
The set of stamps was issued in 2008 and shows three lighthouses of the northern Adriatic - Pinida, Vnetak and Zaglav. Yea I have sent this postcard to myself cos I love having stamps of the same theme as a postcard hehh :))
If you want to see more Croatian lighthouses feel free to visit my cover blog.
And by all means, check what the others have posted ;)

  1. I like how you send these postcards to yourself!. I just keep them, bank :) but it is not the same, I know.
    That Porer Lighthouse looks like it is on such a desolate island. Not even a tree for attracting birds to talk to.

  3. I agree so much - I love to have stamps on the same theme as the card. It doesn't seem to happen too often.

  8. A beautiful postcard, but it looks a lonely place, which is I suppose what one usually thinks about living in a lighthouse :)

  10. Lighthouses on little islets always look lovely surrounded by a calm blue sea. I like the variety on the stamps.
