Finland

Finland, originally uploaded by CarolinaRen.

wish I knew what this said 🙂 I need to ask my penpal! But I love this oversized, colorful card with art (or perhaps the text?) by Marleena Ansio. In any case, it is a fun card for my collection 🙂 (Note: If you can read Finnish and can tell me what this means, please leave a comment! Thanks!)

Water Tower, Blackpool, Englad

by Renae February 23, 2008

Water Tower, Blackpool, Englad, originally uploaded by CarolinaRen.

‘This site specific installation utilises the nature of the Water Tower for a dynamic yet subtle display. Bathed in light, this iconic structure is animated as night falls, with a gentle rippling lighting scheme which can be seen from a distance, like an abstract lighthouse on the skyline.” Love this beautiful card, also marked on back “Blackpool Festival of Light.”

Blackpool, England, originally uploaded by CarolinaRen.

According to my friend who visited here recently, Blackpool Corporation runs over 70 different trains–double and single deckers and some “open tops,” both modern and classic. All are in everyday service! Awesome!

My penpal tells me about folklore and stories of white reindeer. She says she’s never seen a white adult reindeer though.
