Village of Fishermen, Brazil

This unique card is from my postcard pal Claudia. She writes that the boats are called “jangodas” in the northeast of Brazil. This is so beautiful and peaceful and exotic to me 🙂 Lovely!

Another beautiful card from Claudia in Brazil; the beach looks so inviting and EMPTY! I wonder if this is typical?

From a private swap; how unusual to me to see a lighthouse with a big city as a backdrop! Very neat 🙂

Thanks to Kitkat from postcrossings for this lovely, inside peek at Sydney! I love when the cards show something other than the usual tourist destinations 🙂

This beautiful, frosty card is an official postcrossing card from Susanna in Pori, Finland. She tells me that the snow has finally arrived up there; you know things are getting pretty bad when all of your Finnish pals tell you there just hasn’t been any snow! If you ever see this…thanks, Susanna!

This awesome card comes from my long-lost pal, Hanan 🙂 I was glad to hear from her again after so long! This image is fabulous…look how LARGE those sculptures are! I would love to see this in person some day.

Salmon Glacier, British Columbia


Salmon Glacier, British Columbia, originally uploaded by CarolinaRen.

Can you believe….I never really knew what a glacier was until I saw this postcard?!? I feel like a dunce 🙂 But now I know…a glacier is a flowing river of ice! From the card: “The ice actually flows similar to a river with water. It is solid ice that is continually on the move.” Awesome! Thanks to my postcard pal Saph!
