A classic postcard view over the beautiful city of Bonifacio.
Bonifacio (Corsica, France)
Early in the 20th century, it was very popular to dress up animals and stage scenes like this. People used to love sending them to each other!
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.
This summer I went to visit Sweden, and loved it ♥
I would have loved even more to have brought with me friends; loved, if travelling was as easy and quick as it is in SL.
Sadly its not, so we travel with our imagination and create long lasting memories in our minds.

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.

EXPLORE #20 THANK YOU MY FRIEND!!!!
Digging out one from my two glorious days on the Brocken last year. The sun doesn't shine often on the former GDR's highest mountain but when it does one can be guaranteed postcard perfect pictures. The Harzer Schmalspurbahn (HSB) is one of the busiest steam railroads in the world with trains running almost every hour, every day, all year.
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!

„Postcard from Callisto” was accepted by the Glasgow Gallery of Photography for the ABSTRACT exhibition. The Glasgow Gallery of Photography can be found at 279-281 High Street, Glasgow. Exhibition Date: 5th - 30th August 2026
www.glasgowgalleryofphotography.com/
„Cant be true” and „Postcard from Callisto” in section Creative (Experimental) photograhy were accepted by the jury organized by Unlimited Photo Association, Podgorica, Montenegro, the 8th International Salon Capodimonte 2026.
The event was held under the patronage of: FIAP 2026/212; GPU L260031; MAPA 2026
The series of 3 photographs entitled "Farewell" (Postcard from Callisto; Samsara; Cant be true) has been qualified for the post-competition exhibition "XLIII Konfrontacje Fotograficzne," organized by the Photographic Society Gorzów Wlkp. in Poland, 2026. After viewing 69 sets containing 265 photos by 40 authors, the jury qualified 39 sets consisting of 133 photos by 33 authors for the exhibition.
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.
Smile on Saturday: Postcards and Greeting Cards
A shot that didn't made the cut at the time but which has some merits I think, not least because metre gauge trains are now a thing of the past here.
The shot was taken at Ringas Junction, Rajasthan and features NWR liveried Alco YDM4 unit 6637 waiting time with the 6.20am Sikar - Jaipur (train 02088).
It was breakfast time and plenty of passengers were taking advantage of the extended stop to grab a bite to eat at one of the concessions on the platform at right - taking the direct route across the tracks was, and is, pretty normal. A couple of folk have spotted me too, including the driver, (I was hardly incognito in a white sun-hat) and are quite happy to get themselves in the shot.
Semaphores were still in use and these were controlled by two signal boxes, one at each end of the station. This side of the station was still exclusively metre gauge but, out of sight on the right, broad gauge track had already been laid and BG trains were running.
So far as I can make out the line from here to Sikar has now been converted to BG and is operational; the line to Jaipur however is still being converted and, presumably, will be operational soon.

Postcard Day - Ian Anderson

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.

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 :-)
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.
