Depicts: The Narthex at the Cathedral Church of Saint John, the Divine (New York City, USA)
In this card (the second out of five), Jeanette told me about the three peacocks that live in the Cathedral's gardens. There's two that are blue/green, Harry and Jim, and another one that's white, Phil, and they roam around all year long. Also, it's extremely rare but the peacocks have happened to fly out of the grounds and people called the church to pick them up again - those peacocks are famous, huh?
Oh, and in the picture you can see the Narthex, which is the formal entrance area the the West End of the Cathedral. The Great Rose Window, shown here with the State Trumpet and Lesser Rose Window, is 40 feet in diameter and contains over 10k pieces of stained glass.
Postcard stamp:
None, since it came in an envelope.
