This card is from my friend Lyuda from Russia. It shows a golden autumn in Minsk, Belarus. It's precious to me because you won't see an autumn like this in Israel and I miss all those colours now.

Card from China. It's written in Cinese with one sentence in english. Card is beautiful but the scan doesn't do it any justice...

Books!

Books and everything about them are my passion so I was very happy to receive this card from Finland. Thank you Merja!


It often happens this way - one day you know nothing about certain artist and the next day you learn about him and see his works everywhere. This happened to me with Natalya Chetkova - I received her first card a few days ago and today I got a second one, also from Belarus. This artist has great works, loved them very much. Thank you Dasha for the card!

Belarus

Such a lovely card from Belarus! Thank you Nadya for this one. On the card written that the artist is N. Chetkova. Never have seen her works but now will look it up.


Fashion cards are one my wishes in postcrossing. Today I got a card showing Karla Bruni's handbag collection. This is a great card though I'd wish there were a few larger images. Thank you Michael for the card!


Korea

I received this map card of Seoul from MiYeon. Thank you fro the map, it's my first map card from Korea. Maps are one of my main wishes so I was happy to receive this one.


Poland

This card shows the Main Market Square in Krakow, Poland. I've been to Krakow in 1999 and loved the city very much.
Thank you Lukasz for this swap!

Russia, Altai

This card shows a beautiful sunset in the Altai Mountains in Russia and it was sent from Barnaul, the capital of Altai Republic. Thank you Anna for the card!


I love drawings on the cards so I was happy to receive this scenic card from Japan. Unfortunately the sender didn't mention the name of an artist, she just said it was painted by a local artist. I love it, thank you Lim!


Australia

Cards from far away countries keep coming! Today I got a card from Western Australia showing wild flowers. Thank you Cody for this one.

Russia

This card shows St. Petersburg in Russia in 1913. Look how people dressed and there are no cars at the street. I love watching retro photos, imagining what a life looked like back then.
You can see a view of Yekaterininsky Canal from the Kazan Bridge towards the Church of the Savior on the Blood.
Thank you Anna for this great card!



Kiyoshi sent me this beautiful card showing Mt. Taisetsu on Hokkaido island, Japan.
