An ice covered jagged rock formation is the highlight of this scene in Penola Strait in the Antarctica peninsular. Taken from a zodiac.
... no, not L.A. this time. But signed with love, forevermore.

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 have always loved this scene that is shown on travel posters and promos on television. Gondolas are truly magnificent boats. Their timeless beauty adorn the waters of Venice as a testament to the romantic allure of this city surrounded by water.
per favore, gioca, gioca e poi gioca, fino a quando puoi.
e se il tuo quando puoi si avvicinasse poi ad un sempre, beh, io, qui, sarei felice.
e mica solo per te.

Lucerne
The city of Lucerne, with its famed - and much photographed - medieval Chapel Bridge, one of the oldest covered bridges in Europe (1).
Lucerne, a city in central Switzerland with approximately 80,000 residents, is absolutely beautiful and visiting it was one of the highlights of our trip. Life in Lucerne may be challenging for residents, however, as the city attracts nine million visitors (mostly day-trippers like me) each year (2). These visitors, many of whom come by large coach, snarl traffic, fill the streets, public squares and and restaurants, and in general, radically change the city dynamics each and every day. Research suggests that day trippers to Lucerne outnumber those to Venice, Rome, Barcelona and Paris - all much larger cities with significantly greater supporting infrastructure (2).
Suffice to say, while I have some guilt about my role in this problem, I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to this magical city on the water!
Ps - I’m sorry that I haven’t replied to comments this week - I promise that I will! It’s been a whirlwind week, and of course, with the multi-day Flickr migration, access has been challenging 😊 It’s great to have the system back up and running!

from my "Vintage Eyes & Postcard" series. Photographed on 7/17/23 at Sand Island on the Great Sacandaga Lake, New York with the wildfires of Canada still burning, as witnessed here by the very thick, smokey, hazy skies. Such a terrible loss for Canada. Southern Adirondacks. 518.

I was born in a time when people used to send postcards to each other, and I've decided to start sending postcards to a few special people I really love on special occasions. Maybe it's a small step for this age and humanity, but it's great for me. Chuckles*

Dear J,
I hope my postcard finds you well. Everything is ok, only five more weeks to go. This place is a dark void with a plot of gray snow. Industrial area at night. A brick-concrete monstrosity with one long ugly ulcer of a chimney stabbing the feeric nonexistent sky. A threat lurking somewhere. Maybe someone sees it, maybe someone feels it but I never know for sure.
Life cuts into the landscape.
Love, N

@ MetaLES..O..
An idyllic still morning on Rydal Water in Springtime.
The sunrise colours were very muted this morning but stil really pleasant, they really didn't last long at all, I've shot this location a good few times now and you can see the sky changing very clearly to your left as you face this way down the lake, might be something, might be nothing, you never know what you are going to get... one thing that doesn't change though is being stood in the lake with your wellies on at dawn as the sun comes up is always magical regardless of what image you get, (or don't).
The water was perfectly still this morning so I had to be the same stood in the water so as not to cause any ripples on the surface, falling in never helps either, I've got form for such things....thankfully that didn't happen on this trip...
Welcome 2014 :) I hope everyone enjoyed or are still in the process of welcoming the new year. My last day of 2013 was a bit of an emotional roller coaster at first but then it turned out just fine. Looking forward to catching up with everyone :) This is one of my last images from 2013. That's my girlfriend over there while we wonder around on the beach. Later everyone :) Peace!
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 :-)
Mango and Guava finally realized that they were in Amsterdam, not Paris, and they had a good laugh. They found a shop selling gigantic postcards, and bought one to remember their giant misunderstanding. How will they get it home? They will figure that out later.

The Bow Fiddle rock at Portknockie in Aberdeenshire.
I've almost forgotten how I ended up with this ;o)
It started life as an Infrared shot of the Bow Fiddle, and went through Photoshop and NIK before being attached to a postcard!
Texture my own, and 2 Lil Owls Levity collection.

Taken for 'Saturday Self Challenge': "A postcard from where you are"
These are murals that recently appeared on 'The Great Wall of Basingstoke' originally a featureless brick wall that was built in the 1960s after the old market town centre was razed to make way for a modern shopping centre.
