Buenos Aires, Argentina

Lots of stamps on this little cover from Argentina. The miniature sheet from 2017 on the left commemorates the 200th anniversary of the crossing of the Andes mountains in 1817. In the middle is a stamp commemorating the 90th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Argentina and Bulgaria. The round stamp on the right is from a 2021 miniature sheet that explains solar eclipses. And the two above the address are "Unidad Postal" stamps from a 2019 (I think) series about national parks: Parque nacional Aconquija on the left and Parque Nacional El Leoncito on the right.

Charleroi, Belgium

Postmarked at the Charleroi X sorting centre outside the city of Charleroi south of Brussels. The row of stamps along the top are a set of semi-postals from 1974 that celebrate Belgian cultural celebrities. In the bottom row are a pair of Belgian bird definitives and the on the lower left is a 2018 coil stamp featuring a gooseberry. It's a nice little cover.

Åland, The Tall Ship Races 2021

With a nice little Christmas postmark and a 5€ stamp. The annual Tall Ships Races that take place in the Baltic Sea were to feature Mariehamn as one of the host ports during the 2021 races but COVID-19  restrictions changed those plans. The races are designed to "encourage international friendship and training for young people in the art of sailing".

Inuvik, Northwest Territories

From the northwest corner of Canada's Northwest Territories. Yellowknife, the capital city of the Northwest Territories, has a similar postmark. Inuvik is above the Arctic Circle but not on the Arcitc coast so I doubt they see many polar bears around town, if any. But there certainly would be polar bears a few kms away on the coast.

Berwick, Nova Scotia

Berwick is a small town in Nova Scotia's Annapolis Valley. They consider themselves to be the "Apple Capital of Nova Scotia" although apple farming declined in the area some time ago.
