Lake Placid, NY

I am happy I can finally locate this place on the map. I kept hearing about winter sports competitions at Lake Placid numerous times as a child but could not locate it within a 500 miles radius.

Lombard Street, San Francisco

How about a F-1 race?

Glacier National Park, MT

Lake Sherbourne is pictured in this lovely card from Glacier National Park. It's a perfect place to experience the wildflowers that carpet the area: lupine, blanket flower, and sticky geranium.

Synchronized swimming.

Copenhagen, Denmark

Another beautiful view of Nyhavn, Copenhagen's colourful 17th century waterfront, canal and popular entertainment district.

The Brandenburg Gate in 1961 and today.

Such an elegant card! The first vintage postcard since starting this blog.

Edingurgh, UK

This view depicts part of the Old Town in Edinburgh, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Charleston, NC

These lovely homes are some of the many that face Charleston Harbor. Loved by both visitors and Charlestonians ( awesome word ! ), runners and strollers, this view shows what is called ' High Battery'.

Linn Cove Viaduct

The Linn Cove Viaduct is a 1243-foot concrete segmental bridge which snakes around the slopes of Grandfather Mountain in North Carolina. It was completed in 1983 and was the last section of the Blue Ridge Parkway to be finished. It is said to be the most complicated concrete bridge ever built.

Kyoto, Japan

No matter what they say,

I love Gion.

Even in my sleep

The sound of water

Flows beneath my pillow.

This is an advertising postcard for Sisterbrandt, a Danish graphic design studio. I like the retro pics and love the hat.

Nyhavn, Copenhagen

Nyhavn ( aka La Boca of the North :)), is a colorful 17th century waterfront, canal and popular entertainment district in Copenhagen. Danish author Hans Christian Andersen lived at Nyhavn 18 for some years. Wikipedia hosts more beautiful views of Nyhavn.
