This awesome card came my way through a round robin! I love it! The back says that ancient traditions and craft still thrive among modern day Aborigines.

This card is simply awesome. Look at all the detail: the marlboro sign, the knee-high boots on the man sitting by himself, the dress of the middle man in the group, the cloth and clothing for sale! Not to mention the lovely blue paint on the building 🙂 From a private trade.

This is fascinating! From the Web (with slight editing by me!): It was Periander who first considered to open a Canal through the Isthmos. Demetrios Poliorketes seriously considered the idea and started working on it, but he was warned that the difference in sea levels would drown Aigina and other small islands. Nero sent 6000 Jewish slaves who dug a ditch 3300 meters in length and 40 meters wide, but the project was abandoned. Herod of Atticos, the Byzantines, the Venetians, they all tried. The Canal was opened after the Greek independence and between the years 1882 – 1893.

Oh, I wish I knew more about where this was! This is so beautiful…I want to visit! Look at the windmills in the upper left….and how the white buildings contrast so strikingly with the blue, blue water!
