The Church of All Nations, Jerusalem, originally uploaded by CarolinaRen.

From my penpal Leeba. The church is on the Mount of Olives and is said to have a piece of stone on which Jesus prayed before he got arrested.

Art card, Kuala Lumpur, originally uploaded by CarolinaRen.

From a round robin; I am sorry my scanner could not recognize the top or left side border, which is why this looks like a poor scan–which it is 🙂

The Blessed Cathedral, Moscow–so beautiful! From a round robin 🙂

Nice multi-view showing Turku, on the west coast of Finland; from a round robin.

This lovely card is from an organized swap–would love to ride this rail! 🙂

I like this for the cafe scene and the people on the street. Looks like a beautiful place for lunch 🙂 From an organized swap.

Bad Schwartau, Germany, originally uploaded by CarolinaRen.

Love this view! A visit to the city’s Web site, translated by Google translation, says this about the town’s library: “For read rats and book worms the Paradies – our public library. Beside books you find also to play and hearing media. There more is for the whole family somewhat thereby…” Just think….this is probably what I sound like to a German when I am speaking (or trying to speak!) German 🙂

Art card – Ukiyoe, by Hokusai Katsushika, originally uploaded by CarolinaRen.

This lovely official postcrossing card is a welcome addition to my collection–thanks to Hiromi with the beautiful handwriting! 🙂 She tells me that ukiyoe is “old Japanese art.”
