Thanks Phil.

Tall, muscled blond men.... I wonder...

Anyway, here's a new card to guess. Postally unused, probably middle of the 20th century.

I wonder if the 'stilts' and the mounds are some kind of flood precautions?
Netherlands?

I'm pretty sure it's not for flood precautions. And Dutch buildings are never on stilts for flood precautions. We mostly build dykes.

Not Netherlands.

Not the Baltics or Latvia and no shared borders
