It was a postcard day - no, a postcard weekend - in Montana. After spending the weekend near Glacier National Park, the family stopped at Holland Lake on our way home to Missoula. It's been on my list for several years to experience the golden larch surrounding Holland Lake in the fall. Today, my wish came true. On a midday hike to the falls, the lake was a mirror reflecting the Mission Mountains as well as the larch filled hillsides. I return to this place year after year, as it has got to be one of the prettiest spots in the state.

Originally the sky was overexposed, and the sun was shining straight into Valeria`s face. I decided to transform the background into the style of old postcards, and spent quite a long time with creating a digital make up - a good opportunity for practicing...! - Oberbaum Bridge, Berlin-Kreuzberg

European Postcard printed on front with "MG Mayer 295. This card was mailed from Rotterdam on 24 October 1934.
The cupola of the Salesianerinnenkirche, seen from the Upper Belvedere gardens, Vienna. It struck me as one of several postcard photos from the Belvedere.
You have seen this mill before. It was operating when I floated by with the wind in my back. The scene looked like a postcard to me. So, I took a photo. Now the photo looks like a postcard too.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FAVES
ON THE REACTIONS I WILL TRY TO RESPOND BACK
Langs de route in Kamp Westerbork hangen vele postkaarten dit is er één van
-------------------------------------------
Many postcards hang along the route in Kamp Westerbork. This is one of them
It was too much of a temptation and I caved. The Rokinon fisheye is a bit of a novelty lens and the Palouse Falls location works well with the wrap-around perspective. A little creative crop and a solid punch of saturation...and Postcard!
I should mention that the park rangers have been very good to provide reminders that several people have fallen to their deaths at Palouse Falls in the recent past. I walked past several signs and was scary close to the edge with my tripod, though not quite as close as this crop makes it appear. Still, it was not the place to linger and serious precautions were taken to avoid an accidental stumble. Boys and girls...don't try this at home.
I fashioned this postcard of the heritage listed Meredith House. Built in 1853, it is now a superb Bed and Breakfast run by Neil and Noel, two of the friendliest hosts in Tasmania. They have been through hard times with the Covid restrictions over the past two years, but things are slowly getting back to normal. One thing that everyone who stays at Meredith House agrees upon is this: They serve the most delicious and filling breakfast ever. If you're visiting the east coast, then this is the place to stay. meredithhouse.com.au/
Meredith House gets its name from Charles and Louisa Anne Meredith (1812-1895). A local winery even names a sweet vintage after Louisa. She was born in Birmingham, England, but emigrated to Australia in 1839. Meredith wrote and illustrated books about the Australian bush, and was sympathetic to the plight of indigenous people. Her husband Charles was a member of the Tasmanian Legislative Council for some 30 years.
There is one claim to fame that Louisa Anne Meredith has that is yet to be fully verified: That she was the first female photographer in the colony. She was a friend of the prominent Tasmanian professional photographer John Watt Beattie from the 1880s and he records her giving him some assistance in the field, "and that she had been 'instrumental in having the last remnant of the Tasmanian Aboriginals photographed for the purposes of science.'" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisa_Anne_Meredith#Photographer
Following information provided by [https://www.flickr.com/photos/peterhut], the land was originally owned by Charles Meredith, the husband of noted colonial artist and poet, Louisa Anne Meredith. The land was subsequently purchased by J.A. Graham who built the elegant two-storey Georgian House in 1853. It was known as Laughton House and when Graham married a Miss Cope, a schoolteacher, it became a girls school. By 1870 it had been purchased by James Morris and by 1892 it was a boarding house. So the name Meredith House was attached later.
