An ice covered jagged rock formation is the highlight of this scene in Penola Strait in the Antarctica peninsular. Taken from a zodiac.
Today I had no idea and nothing I put on a reflective surface worked. So I went for a walk and got the mail on the way in. Found I got a postcard from Costa Rica with an electric blue butterfly on it. Bingo! I had my background!
Hi, having a great time in Angelsey , spent the afternoon at Penmon point , the lighthouse is amazing and the weather has been kind , more adventures tomorrow

Not suggesting for a moment that this is postcard quality but I've been away from Flickr for a while and wanted to let you know that my shutter finger is still operational.
This shot was taken from a recent overnight trip to Oban on the west coast of Scotland. The island of Kerrera can just be seen on the left, the small Maiden Island is on the right, and the cloud covered mountains of Mull are in the far distance behind the Caledonian MacBrayne ferry.
It's good to be back folks....and it used to be traditional to send a card when you've been away.
Mark Knopfler - Postcards From Paraguay
www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2UISeUv4d0
One thing was leading to the next
I bit off more than I could chew
I had the power to sign the cheques
It wasn't difficult to do
I couldn't stay and face the music
So many reasons why
I won't be sending postcards
from Paraguay, from Paraguay, from Paraguay
I robbed a bank full of dinero,
A great big mountain of dough
So it was goodbye companero
and cheerio
I couldn't stay and face the music
So many reasons why
I won't be sending postcards
from Paraguay, from Paraguay, from Paraguay
I never meant to be a cheater
But there was blood on the wall
I had to steal from peter
to pay what I owed to paul
I couldn't stay and face the music
So many reasons why
I won't be sending postcards
from Paraguay, from Paraguay, from Paraguay

POSTCARD WORTHY is the topic for Friday, October 22, 2021, Group Our Daily Challenge
I have to go to this castle a couple of times a year, it is worth a visit at any time of the year.
This morning the sun was shining so beautifully, but when I got there the sun was gone ...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ich muss dieses Schloss ein paar Mal im Jahr besuchen, es ist zu jeder Jahreszeit einen Besuch wert.
Heute morgen schien so schön die Sonne, doch als ich dort ankam war die Sonne verschwunden....
I know it's just a "standard" photo but every now and then I like to photograph something like that.
Especially when the weather changes so beautifully. The sun tries to take the lead what this day in Hamburg was not so easy for them.
What I like even more is the variety of moods in the photos. Therefore, I decided to also post such a photo. Bad weather or not it is exciting to develop such photos. I was able to take many photos here with such very different contrasts and moods. Anyway look what you might discover here so.

EXPLORE #20 THANK YOU MY FRIEND!!!!
Loved this old motel on Route 66. The pink doors and the rusty Packard out front had such a 1950s vibe. It has lived as motel all these years, it's awesome to see it still going! It's like walking back in time.
Whitby is a seaside town in Yorkshire, northern England, split by the River Esk. On the East Cliff, overlooking the North Sea, the ruined Gothic Whitby Abbey was Bram Stoker’s inspiration for “Dracula”. Nearby is the Church of St. Mary, reached by 199 steps.(Wikipedia). Featured Locomotive Black 5 45407.
1950s postcards sent to my husband's brother, Geoff (1925-2011), from their cousin, Joyce (1922-1994), who travelled quite a bit way back then. David was the youngest of seven (born between 1924 and 1951). David would have been a young child when these arrived, but now he is the family historian so he appreciates them. On an old model of a Schooner that belonged to Geoff.
Very poignant memories as we have just had David's sister, Evelyn's funeral (1934-2022). Now there is only David and his brother, Dennis, left of that generation. He also has quite a few Carte de Visite which are very intriguing but it's hard to identify people.

My eyes are white circles
above cheekbones on fire:
Pale hand gripping my pen.
Rounding up to the zero,
adding infinite fractions,
Letting nine become ten.
Two pink doves strut the shingles
Picking crumbs from the breakfast I saved
For you dear. and I wish you were here
On this postcard day.
Focus on the fine
indeterminate line
Where the sky meets the sea.
Desperate midweek words,
banal and absurd
Freely flow out of me.
Well, I may be a hostage to summer
But I'm a hostage, not a slave.
And I'm clear that I wish you were here
On this postcard day.
Precious cargo of flotsam:
mixed memories on an ocean tide
Swim madly with spice from the orient
On a mystery watery carpet ride.
But with the sun going down,
the wind goes around;
Blows them back out of mind.
My eyes are white circles
staring down past the point
Of my restless pen.
While the ghosts of my youth
all sworn to the truth
Call my name again.
Two brown legs don't make a summer.
But two brown arms couldn't keep me away.
Well, my dear, I wish you were here
On this postcard day.

Taken on Weybourne Beach, Norfolk, England. Just between me an you Weybourne is a great place to take photos, with cliffs, boats, tractors, a pebble beach, a windmill, fields, wild flowers, bird life, fishermen, the sea and the odd WW2 defensive structure you can always find something interesting to capture.
This was the first image taken from a day of chasing the light on Exmoor this Autumn. Many bows, plus the odd soaking and a walk thrown in for good measure. Wishing everyone a top week :-)
A random selection of some postcards I have.
Better viewed large, and thank you for your favourites. :)
Introducing Postcards from Johnny T, a set of six postcards showcasing the adventures of the renowned 1930s archaeologist and adventurer, Johnny Thunder.
The collection includes postcards from each of the locations Thunder visited on his travels, including the pyramids of Egypt, the dense jungles of Amazonia, the prehistoric landscapes of Dino Island, the ancient palaces of India, the towering peaks of the Himalaya, and the magnificent cities of China.
This MOC is a collaboration with Vanthica (vanthica.carrd.co), a friend of mine who designed the poststamps and prepared renders. Check out their other works!
