My first cover from Algeria!
As I am not really a fan of flora and fauna, I'll just focus on some trivia about the country:
Algeria is a country located in North Africa. It is the largest country of the Mediterranean sea, second largest in the Arab World, and the second largest on the African continent and the eleventh largest country in the world in terms of land area.
Its name in Arabic is "Al-jazā’ir," which was taken from the city's older name of jazā’ir banī mazghannā, the Arabic for "the islands of (the tribe) Ait Mazghanna," which was used by early Arab cartographers.
Pictures of Algeria that can be found on the net (click here) give a very good impression of the country, and I think Algeria will definitely be one of the countries I will visit if ever I go to Africa!
And a note on the cover: notice how the postal worker positioned the registration sticker in a diagonal position, as if s/he were trying to cover the bird design! I take it that the postal worker must hate birds then?
