India

The Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus of Mumbai exhibits an important interchange of influences from Victorian Italianate Gothic revival architecture, and from Indian traditional buildings. It became a symbol for Mumbai as a major mercantile port city on the Indian Subcontinent within the British Commonwealth.

The Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus is an outstanding example of late 19th Century railway architecture in the British Commonwealth, characterized by Victorian Gothic Revival and traditional Indian features, as well as its advanced structural and technical solutions.

ver nice stamps..

The Qutab Minar...people stand against it to see if they can wrap their arms around it. Supposedly it's good luck, or maybe that was a silly tour guide story ;); July 13, 2009 at 6:42 PM

Greetings from Land Below The Wind @ Sabah, I’m Carol, 48 and had lived all my life here in Borneo Island of Malaysia, wonderful place surrounding by the beauty of nature..nice & friendly peoples around.

My greatest passion..of course collecting postcard & stamps from all over the world! :) thanks to PostCrossing for giving such opportunity to all postcard lovers:) I do like traveling but I’m not lucky enough for that :), but somehow via postcrossing, feels like I have been traveling all around to so many place! :-)..its been 16 years since I joined postcrossing and my collection keeps growing immensely.. thanks to everyone!

It’s a great feeling to open my postbox and knowing that postcard is there (instead of bills, statements, invoices, etc…..). Postcard arrived from someone somewhere in this world, at least we have a good reason to visit post office more often than usual, don’t you? :)

Peace & Love from Borneo Island..
