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
take care and see you soon
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.

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

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.
A spot where I go kayaking a lot through the Summer until early Fall.I always see a lot of Painted Turtles along this shoreline.

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.
Pentax.
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.
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*

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.

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!
