From Judit Bouman - Groningen, Netherlands - 31.12.15 - Fisch06

judit's address is -no joke (I suppose)- "barge", so, no wonder that she has easily access to Fishes!

on the envelope, she announced that her sending concerned a Vis Vergunning, that is, a Fishing licence!

on the back of her card, judit wrote: "terrible, how disobedient Fishes are" ("schrecklig wie ungehorsam Fische sind!!")

From Wolfgang Kraus aka Welfchen - München, Germany - 30.12.15 - Fisch05

wolFgang, aka as welFchen, locks his "Fisch - goldFisch" in a golden net

From Uwe Klein - Dittelbrunn, Germany - 30.12.15 - Fisch04

germany is a country particularly rich in FISH -even if the Fish stamps used by uwe come from other countries (and the sardines probably also)

From Daniele Virgilio - La Spezia, Italy - 30.12.15 - Fisch03

 "a tropical fish dances in a pond"

From Anna Karina Fries - Schweinfurt, Germany - 29.12.15 - Fisch02a, b, c

oh, FISHES are really coming swimming in masses to Oldenburg!!!

the 2nd FISHes came in a complete shoal, sent to me by anna karina Fish -no: "Fries" (like Friesland, my native country, where there is indeed much water, with or without Fishes)!

On the back-side of her cards, Anna Karina put, in three parts, a section from "The Wolf and the Seven Young Goats" ("Der Wolf und die sieben jungen Geißlein"):

"Aber der Wolf hatte seine schwarze Pfote in das Fenster gelegt, das sahen die Kinder und riefen: 'Wir machen nicht auf, unsere Mutter hat keinen schwarzen Fuß wie du; du bist der Wolf!'"

"Da lief der Wolf zu einem Bäcker und sprach: 'Ich habe mich an den Fuß gestoßen, streich mir Teig darüber.'

Und als ihm der Bäcker die Pfote bestrichen hatte, so lief er zum Müller und sprach: 'Streu mir weißes Mehl auf meine Pfote.'

Der Müller dachte: 'Der Wolf will einen"

"betrügen', und weigerte sich; aber der Wolf sprach: 'Wenn du es nicht tust, fresse ich dich.' Da fürchtete sich der Müller und machte ihm die Pfote weiß. Ja, so sind die Menschen."

From Ulla Prigge - Berlin, Germany - 28.12.2015 - Fisch01

the First FISHes come From berlin!

around her card, ulla wrapped Fishing-line (not really visible on the photos) 

and on the envelope she put a beautiful still life with ... FISHES
