An official postcrossing card with a beautiful view of Sydney!

An official postcrossing card with such lovely, lovely views of mountains and snow! I simply love these views and would love to visit here someday.
This beautiful, frosty card is an official postcrossing card from Susanna in Pori, Finland. She tells me that the snow has finally arrived up there; you know things are getting pretty bad when all of your Finnish pals tell you there just hasn’t been any snow! If you ever see this…thanks, Susanna!
Thanks to Kitkat from postcrossings for this lovely, inside peek at Sydney! I love when the cards show something other than the usual tourist destinations 🙂
Can you believe….I never really knew what a glacier was until I saw this postcard?!? I feel like a dunce 🙂 But now I know…a glacier is a flowing river of ice! From the card: “The ice actually flows similar to a river with water. It is solid ice that is continually on the move.” Awesome! Thanks to my postcard pal Saph!
This awesome card comes from my long-lost pal, Hanan 🙂 I was glad to hear from her again after so long! This image is fabulous…look how LARGE those sculptures are! I would love to see this in person some day.
“It takes a whole village to raise a child.” Not only do I believe this as a mother of three kids with no support system whatsoever around me (except for hubby, that is!), but I also believe this because I believe in the idea of “community” and “family.” Love this colorful art card–a very pleasing addition to my collection. Art by Bonnie Acker, cut paper, 1994.
“A Federal Budget to Rebuild Our Communities.” The text on this card says that we need to, basically, give up all the military spending and put our dollars into our communities. I don’t know what I think of all that — I’m really ignorant about issues like this. But I do know that I hate how many people are poor, suffering and struggling in this country–and all over the world. But honestly, the ideals themselves did not attract me to this card. The colorful artwork did 🙂 Artwork by Karen Kerney, 1992.
This view is really nothing special–I’ve seen hundreds of cards with better ones 🙂 But what I like about this is that it’s one snapshot taken along the 2,000+ mile trail that runs from Georgia to Maine. I’m getting kinda old now so I doubt I could do it….but just imagine…hiking that trail!!! I may start a new collection of postcards from along the trail. If you have any, please let me know!
This card comes from a private trade; I used to live in New Jersey, although south of Princeton–in Cinnaminson. A nice addition to my university collection.
