Dallas

This beautiful card arrived a while back from veeder, in the USA. It shows Dallas’ skyline at dusk and the architectural details in the left building are incredible.

Dallas is the 3rd largest city in the State of Texas and is the largest inland metropolitan are in the country without a navigable link to the sea. Its importance derivates from its historical importance in the oil and cotton industries.

It’s a city I would love to visit!

Mistery Bridge

This beautiful bridge card, sent from Japan by lovelypostcard24, shows an incredible bridge spanning the Mississippi river, the second largest river in USA. Now, the question is which bridge?

The card doesn’t have much information and calls it the Mississippi River Bridge. A little online investigation revealed that there at least 21 bridges over the Mississippi River and none are called that. After seeing many, many photos, I narrowed it down to three possibilities: the Black Hawk Bridge, the Savannah-Sabula Bridge and the Crescent City Connection. But I am still unsure of which one it actually is! Can anyone help me? :)

Lighthouse of Capelinhos II

I love maxicards and I collect them. They are the perfect combination of my two favourite hobbies: stamps and postcards. This one I bought on-line, on the CTT (Portuguese postal services) website.

It shows a beautiful view of Capelinhos and the stamps shows a vintage photo of the volcanic eruption on the site, in the 50’s. It's beautiful!

Yosemite National Park

These two beautiful cards were sent by acossa, from the USA. They show the Yosemite National Park, located in east central California. It was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1984 and it is visited by over 3.5 million people every year.

These cards are amazing. It must be an incredible place to visit.

Casa Milà

Casa Milà, or La Pedrera, is a beautiful building built between 1906 and 1912 in Barcelona. It was designed by Antoni Gaudí, the famous Catalan architect and was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

I am a huge fan of Gaudí’s architecture. I think it’s magical, intense and inventive. They are quite magnificent!

La Mancha

La Mancha is located in the Castille – La Mancha autonomous community, in Spain. It is an arid, but fertile plateau of Central Spain, well known by its viniculture and cereal production. But its most well known landmarks are La Mancha’s windmills, which gain international fame because of Cervantes’ “Don Quixote de La Mancha”.

Saint Louis

This amazing card was sent a while back by juliee, from USA. The colours are incredible: all those shades of purple on the sky and the lightning... just fantastic.

Saint Louis, or the Gateway city, is the largest city in the U.S. state of Missouri. It was named after King Louis IX of France and its most recognizable symbol is the Gateway Arch, which can be seen in the postcard’s picture. The Arch is made of stainless steel and stands 192m tall, being the tallest monument in the country. It is a part of the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial, which was established to commemorate three historical moments: the Louisiana Purchase; the first civil government west of the Mississippi River and the debate over slavery began by the Dred Scott Case.

It’s a quite stunning card.
