An Ugly (senders words) Blurry Postcard

 The Sender Writes:
I hope the cute teddy bear stamp softens the fact that I'm sending you the ugliest card I have ever seen!

hahaha!
This very blurry woman postcard is postmarked in 2014 from Finland.  The card was printed in Portugal.  And yes, The stamp is adorable....

Tupelo, Mississippi, Birthplace of Elvis Presley

Elvis' Birthplace - in Tupelo, Mississippi.

postmarked in 1989 with 15 cent 'Buffalo Bill Cody' stamp

I must say, this is one Ugly postcard.  It's gloomy outside, and it's so dark! I'd like to get a nice postcard of his birthplace.

Elvis was born on January 8th, 1935 in Tupelo, Mississippi, then moved to Memphis, Tennessee, with his family at the age of 13.

Rwenzori Mountains in Uganda

I always try to list nice cards and stamps, but Uganda is very hard to find.  So even thought these are not in the best condition, I figured I would post them anyway, at least to have another one from this country.  As I can get more from here, I will post them.

The Rwenzori Mountains, previously called the Ruwenzori Range (the spelling having been changed in about 1980 to conform more closely with the local name), and sometimes the Mountains of the Moon, is a mountain range of central Africa.  It is located on the border between Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, with heights of up to 5,109 m (16,761 ft). The highest Rwenzoris are permanently snow-capped.

Ugly postcard of Paris, France in the evening


Paris
Ambiance du soir
(ambience of the evening)

postmarked in 1984 from Switzerland with a Helvetia (Switzerland) stamp

It's way to dark and the side of some random building. There are so many wonderful postcards from Paris, it's nice to find one that looks like this - just plain ugly.

Merry Christmas from old Florida - Simply Sanford - like coming home -

I must say, I love Sanford. It's small, full of antique stores, and a fun place to spend the day, but this has to be the ugliest Christmas postcard I've ever seen! - postmarked in 12-2006

California - A mass of humanity on Santa Monica Beach
postmarked in 1992 with US 19 cent balloon stamp - the photo on the card is as dark as you see it on the scan.
