Thanks to Fernando for this lovely view, which shows one of four gates in the historic walls of the city of Estremoz, Portugal.

This very pretty card is from Beale, who sent it through a postcrossing round robin. I love the old style buildings and the colorful bridge…so nice!
LOVE THIS! Thanks to Annamari again – I can almost imagine what it would be like to be here seeing this card 🙂
Awesome museum card from Annamari for an organized swap! I am now collecting museum cards like this 🙂
This fountain has a HUGE history if you look it up online! But what is amazing to me is how it looks packed in there–the streets are so small and the other buildings so close! Perhaps it is a trick of the camera. Either that, or life just popped right up all around the fountain 🙂 From a round robin 🙂
According to the info I found online, Riquewihr today is just about the same as it was in the middle ages! The town is surrounded by its medieval fortifications and is overlooked by a castle from the same period that is today a museum. Lovely!
This is the remnant of the old town wall and one of its towers in Mulhouse (pronounced meh-LOOZ), France. Beautiful! Thanks to a Mr. Tom Galvin for the info I found on his site, and to Doumik for the lovely card!
The sender of this card tells me that this little tugboat was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. It was a reminder of a previous hurricane–Camille, which hit the area in 1969.

I cannot believe how beautiful this is. I had always thought of Australia as dusty and “red” — not lush and blue! Thanks to Christine for such a beautiful card!
