Free entertainment, for life - CNN.com. "Bored?...Read!!!" Also, I show you a MAXIMUM CARD / MAXICARD / DORINCARD with the STATUE OF LIBERTY, NYC, NY, USA - one hand is for "torching", but the other one is for holding a... "BOOK"? [No, it's actually a tabula ansata (a tablet evoking the law)]. But she could have been holding a book, too, for symbolic purposes :)...
Reading books is Free entertainment, for life - CNN.com
"The Statue of Liberty (Liberty Enlightening the World; French: La Liberté éclairant le monde) is a colossal neoclassical sculpture on Liberty Island in New York Harbor, designed by Frédéric Bartholdi and dedicated on October 28, 1886.
The statue, a gift to the United States from the people of France, is of a robed female figure representing Libertas, the Roman goddess of freedom, who bears a torch and a tabula ansata (a tablet evoking the law) upon which is inscribed the date of the American Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776.
A broken chain lies at her feet.
The statue has become an icon of freedom and of the United States."
Thank you again, France! :)

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.
