Dunnville (ON), Floral Clock (Canada)

-
Skanderbeg’s Monument, Tirana (Albania)
This unused Aeditions card 1054 represents Albania postcards maybe better than most. The photographer did a good job, as the statue sits at one side of a massive public square that was eerily deserted on the summer Sunday we were there. Grade: 1
-

Sahati (Clock Tower), Tirana (Albania)
From Wikipedia again, “The Clock Tower of Tirana (Albanian: Kulla e Sahatit), was built in 1822 in Tirana a by Etëhem Bey Mollaj, a Bejtexhinj poet who also finished the Et’hem Bey Mosque next to the clock tower. It is a monument of culture of first category, approved on 24 May 1948. The stairs have 90 steps that go in a spiral fashion. It is 35 metres (115 ft) tall and was the tallest building in the city at the time. Since the restoration of 2016, 9,833 visitors were counted, who have visited the tower.” As this Wikipedia entry was edited in 2018, so few? The older “clock postcard” is unused, with light handling on the reverse. Grade: 1
