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.
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.

Took this pic on a little walk up Snowdon, in North Wales U.K.. The view changes every minute, along with the weather as well. Brilliant, lovely scenery. A stunning and beautiful place
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!!!!
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.
to my lovely friends........especially to Patrick, to express my gratitude for wonderful friendship and his kind words for my profile...
I am still busy at work........looking forward to freer days....
Hope all is fine with you, my dears....wishing you a happy and light days, with good, cheerful mood! :-)
Thanks a lot to you for being around! :-)
That is far look of oldest city Uplistsikhe, where from were some of my previous photos...
I think it will be better, if you view it in large
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.

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.

It's not very difficult to come up with postcard images in Prague. The views are literally on every step. I took this one from the castle walls of Vysehrad, across the river, just as the dusk started to settle in over this beautiful city.

** Over the last several years, I've discovered some new hobbies and revisited a couple of old ones. My plan is to share some of the things I've come upon in Flickr now and then. Welcome to the museum of sorts! **

This is a postcard depicting the "Chateau de Fountainbleu" in France. My understanding is that today it is home to around 20 Carmelite nuns, features over 1,500 rooms and displays over 30,000 works of art. It was founded in 1511 by monks and later restored in 1686 and 1717. The card itself is from the late 1930's or early 1940's. I especially love how the edges of the card have a scalloped pattern to them.
See the other post of this for the story of the written side of the card!
