Hungary - Year of the Tiger issue

Thank you so much Kriana!
 

Hungary, Postcrossing cover,

The sender used the new Postcrossing Minisheet as the postage fee for this cover. Hungary is the next  country releasing the stamp about Postcrossing. 

The sheet shows the postman riding his bicycle to delivery a postcard to a young boy. The smile on the both faces, such as the postman deliveries the hapiness.

Hungary, Year of the Dog,

This cover was used a Dog year stamps from the minisheet of 4.

As it is the case with more and more European Postal Administrations (is it a good thing ?), the Hungarian Post (Magyar Posta) is devoting, since 2014 (Year of the Horse), each beginning of the year a series to the new year acoording to the lunar calendar...

On Febuary 2018, a souvenir sheet consisting of 4 stamps (400 HUF each - postage of a standard letter up to 20 g or postcard to worldwide countries) was put into circulation to celebrate the new Year of the Dog which began the following day.

Thank you Matmex!

Budapest, including the Banks of the Danube, the Buda Castle Quarter and Andrássy Avenue

UNESCO site

Date of Insscription: 1987

Brief synthesis

This stretch of the Danube has been the location of human settlement since the Palaeolithic. It was the site of the Roman city of Aquincum, situated to the north of the inscribed property which comprises parts of two originally quite separate cities: Buda on the spur on the right bank and Pest on the plain on the left bank. Pest was the first medieval urban centre, devastated in 1241-2. A few years later the castle of Buda was built on a rocky spur on the right bank by King Bela IV. Thereafter, the city reflected the history of the Hungarian monarchy. After the end of the Turkish occupation, recovery did not really begin until the 18th century. In the 19th century, the city’s role as a capital was enhanced by the foundation of the Hungarian Academy, housed from 1862 in a neo-renaissance palace, and by the construction of the imposing neo-gothic Parliament building (1884–1904). W.T. Clark’s suspension bridge, finalised in 1849, symbolised the reunification of Buda and Pest, which did not actually come about until 1873. The symbol of the development of the city as a modern metropolis was the radial Andrássy Avenue, which was included in the property in 2002. From 1872, the Avenue radically transformed the urban structure of Pest, together with the construction of the European continent’s first underground railway beneath it in 1893-6.

As a centre for receiving and disseminating cultural influences, Budapest is an outstanding example of urban development in Central Europe, characterised by periods of devastation and revitalisation. Budapest has retained the separate structural characteristics of the former cities of Pest, Buda and Óbuda. One example thereof is the Buda Castle Quarter with its medieval and characteristically Baroque style, which are distinct from the extended and uniquely homogeneous architecture of Pest (with its historicising and art nouveau styles) which is characterised by outstanding public buildings and fitted into the ringed-radial city structure. All this is organized into a unity arising from the varied morphological characteristics of the landscape and the Danube, the two banks of which are linked by a number of bridges. The urban architectural ensemble of the Andrássy Avenue (‘The Avenue’) and its surroundings (Heroes' Square, the City Park, historic inner city districts and public buildings) are high-quality architectural and artistic realisations of principles of urbanism reflecting tendencies, which became widespread in the second part of the 19th century. The scenic view of the banks of the Danube as part of the historic urban landscape is a unique example of the harmonious interaction between human society and a natural environment characterised by varied morphological conditions (Gellért Hill with the Citadel and the Buda Hills partly covered with forests, the broad Danube river with its islands and Pest's flat terrain rising with a slight gradient).

Cover#86 Stamp day at my home,

Today, a Czech letter reached my home with a lot of mint stamps from diver countries: Hungary, Malaysia, France and Czech. 

I really appreciate the France MS: Year of the Goat. My last french stamps I bought by myself in Nantes, my last city in France, about a half year ago. And it took a longtime I had not updated my album with new french stamps. So when I got this one, I'm really happy and I miss France also.
