Lovely card! From Wiki: “Marienplatz is the heart of the city of Munich. In the Middle Ages, the square used to be a market place as well as the place where tournaments and festivities took place.” Another of my husband’s nice official postcrossing cards

Temperature extremes, Alaska, originally uploaded by CarolinaRen.

I am not sure where this view is…but I love it 🙂 In one image, we see the street corner when it’s 33 degrees below zero! In the next, it’s a steamy 89 🙂 Also…this was printed in Australia. I just don’t get the economics of printing postcards!

Life in Greece, originally uploaded by CarolinaRen.

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.

Isthmos Canal, Korinth

by Renae March 22, 2007

Isthmos Canal, Korinth, originally uploaded by CarolinaRen.

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.
