Fragment from http://www.squidoo.com/dorincard, translated from English into Finnish














I will create someday gorgeous maximum cards with wonderful panoramic postcards like these:





And now some lovely dogs.









Suomi/Finland...one of my most favorite countries!
About 5.4 million people, 2 million firearms, very few shooting sprees, top-of-the-world education system, many passionate collectors of postcards, stamps, etc.
"Finland has been ranked the second most stable country in the world, in a survey based on social, economic, political and military indicators.[6]



Finland was a relative latecomer to industrialization, remaining a largely agrarian country until the 1950s. Thereafter, economic development was rapid, and the country reached the world's top income levels in the 1970s. Between 1970 and 1990, Finland built an extensive welfare state. In the aftermath of the country's severe depression in the early 1990s, successive governments have changed the Finnish economic system through some privatisationderegulation and tax cuts.
Finland is well placed in international comparisons of national performance such as the share of high-technology manufacturing and health care.[7] The country is ranked 1st in the 2009 Legatum Prosperity rating, which is based on economical performance and quality of life.[8]"

maximaphily = collecting maximum cards (postcard + stamp + postmark)
Maximaphily

Maximaphily is a branch of philately, or stamp collecting, that means collecting maximum cards.
Generally, a maximum card is a postcard, with a stamp and a postmark on the picture side. Ideally, all these 3 elements should be concordant, but not identical.
The traditional way is to comply with the rules of FIP (International Philatelic Federation).

The non-traditional way, as I call it, is to follow nobody's rules! Unless YOU want it, of course.
I call DORINCARD any postcard that was personalized by adding a stamp and a postmark, on the picture side of the postcard. Traditional way, or not. :)

Finland is a fascinating, a bit magical country and the postcards with the Northern lights are strangely beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

"Dorincard: Blogger Dorin C is a stamp and postcard fanatic, and luckily he's more than pleased to write prolifically and charmingly about his obsession. He has a particular bent for stamps with wild mammals on them, but his blog demonstrates an affinity for stamps of all forms and backgrounds, as long as they offer a special narrative that's worth sharing with his readers.

    Postcards and stamps, mainly featuring mammals and birds but Dorincard also has other creations
    and interests he likes to share.
    His enthusiasm for Maximum cards (a postcard and a similar themed stamps sent through the
    postal system) shines through.
    He shows how he gets the right card, stamp and postmark together.
    Visiting his site you will also learn things about the natural world told with a dry sense of humour,
    possibly with a play on words, and a unique style of headings.
    Topical and informative both for the enthusiast and casual visitor.
