Fountain in Rome, originally uploaded by CarolinaRen.

“La fontana di Piazza della Rotonda”…from a round robin. I am told that this is a famous meetingplace for pigeons 🙂

New Zealand, originally uploaded by CarolinaRen.

This card, from a round robin, is just too beautiful. I can’t believe New Zealand has water like this! 🙂

Flinders Range, South Australia, originally uploaded by CarolinaRen.

Lovely views of mountainous deserts, from an organized swap.

The Australian High Country, originally uploaded by CarolinaRen.

“Greetings from Mansfield, Vic.” This shows the Australian Alps and a high country horseman….awesome! Despite Crocodile Dundee, I never once would have thought “Australia” in the same sentence as “cowboy!” 🙂

Bastogne, Belgium, originally uploaded by CarolinaRen.

This view makes the town look like it is a movie set! Thanks to Wendy, who also shared that Bastogne is the location of a WWII battle–as evidenced by the tank in the left corner.

Oklahoma City National Memorial, originally uploaded by CarolinaRen.

Surprisingly, this card came to me from Wendy in the Netherlands 🙂 The memorial pays tribute to the 168 people who died in the 1995 bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building. Wow…this was ONE instance. Imagine if it were like Iraq or Sudan or Israel here…with trouble like this all the time. We would quickly grow tired of building memorials for each place and time something happened. There’d be no way to keep up.

Otso — Finland, originally uploaded by CarolinaRen.

This card is really beautiful; what an elegant design! It was an official postcrossing card received by my husband. Lovely 🙂

Twisters, originally uploaded by CarolinaRen.

I wonder if this is real. I received it from someone in Europe (maybe Germany?) for an organized swap. Awesome!

National Museum of Australia, originally uploaded by CarolinaRen.

Exterior of the National Museum of Australia at night, showing the loop curving up to 30 meters–that’s 98 feet!–high! I love this card! 🙂
