A nice colorful card showing what I assume are regions? There is no text on the back to explain. But I still enjoy the card! 🙂

I usually don’t like multi-view cards, but this one, from Switzerland, the country I most want to visit, is an exception 🙂 It packs a lot of information (and sparks a ton of imagination!) in such a little space. You can see the Matterhorn; a picture from Bern; Mounts Eiger, Monch, and Jungfrau; a lovely pier at Lake Lucerne; Zurich from the water–and more 🙂
By the way, Lake Lucerne (Luzern), means “Lake of the four forested cantons.”

I also love the pretty stamps–especially the heart-shaped stamp!–on the Sendai City card … thus this extra image 🙂 (Blog readers, the card is coming up next … I blogged this in the reverse order from which I wrote it!)

An official postcrossing card showing Sendai, which the sender explains is very famous for its beautiful green trees. The sender also writes that Sendai is called “The City of the Forest” in Japan.
The card features the night view from the rim of Sendai Castle. Sendai was developed in the 17th century … today it is home to one million people!
I am always amazed to learn of large cities with over a million people … and yet I had never heard of them before! I suppose, though, that there are many cities with over a million people … and the world is a very big place!

Ah … this brings back memories of my childhood, when my extended family would stay at Wildwood for two weeks each summer. I remember the boardwalk … seeing Jaws in the theater (it was scary!) … listening to Elton John’s “Diamond Girl” … and going out in a boat at Barnegate!
From the card: “Barnegat Light, the second tallest lighthouse in the United States, was commissioned January 1, 1859. The tower light was 165 feet above sea level. It remained a first-class navigational light until August 1927, when the ‘Barnegat Lightship’ was anchored 8 miles off the coast. The tower’s light was reduced over 80 percent, but it was not extinguished until January 1944.”

About 45 minutes north from Cinnaminson, NJ, where I spent my most formative years, is Princeton, NJ, home of Princeton University. Maybe I would have gone to Princeton had we stayed in Jersey. Then again, maybe not 🙂 But I love college towns, and this is no exception.
I received this card in a private swap.
From the card: “Princeton lies in central New Jersey and is home to Princeton University, the 4th oldest institution of higher learning in the U.S. During the Revolutionary War, George Washington defeated British troops in a battle at Princeton.”

Another card from my sister Jessie! I really like this card because it points out various features in the park.
On the back it says: “Zion National Park isn’t just a collection of cliffs, canyons and slick rock chasms, but a complex and varied natural ecosystem.”

This card appealed to me as 1) a former resident of PA, 2) as a philatelist, and 3) as a collector of both art and architecture cards!
I also scanned the back of the card, which features a very nice Center postmark!
