A Chinese Airbrush Painting

I sent a Colorado card to a young woman in China in exchange for this card showing Chinese Brush painting.  Isn't it pretty?  The back of the card says:  "Frost's Descent: It means the climate is getting colder gradually and frost appears".  

Even the stamp is a work of art.

"The Swamp" at the University of Florida

Ben Hill Griffin Stadium at Florida Field, home of the Fightin' Gators.  This stadium is also known as the "The Swamp" and is "widely recognized as one of the toughest environments for a visiting team in all of college football", and apparently "only Gators get out alive".*

My sender will be a junior at the UF this fall.

Lithuania

My second card from Lithuania arrived today, from the town of Šilutė.  This card shows photos from the region where this town is, in western part of Lithuania, near the Baltic Sea.

It looks very pretty here!

A Small Castle from Germany

This postcard arrived today, just a few hours ago.  This is a very small castle. I think it is absolutely lovely. I would like to see the rest of it.  Unfortunately, there is no other information on the card about this particular 'little' castle.  

These are cute stamps!

Greensburg, PA

This card depicts a mural painted by a local artist in Greensburg, Pennsylvania.

From the back of the card:  "Originally a railroad stop on the Pennsylvania Railroad, Greensburg quickly became the center of the coal mining industry in the region by the late 1800's when large areas of soft coal were discovered nearby."

A Favorite Card from Finland

This card was sent to me because I had chosen it on Postcrossing as a favorite.  If users upload cards sent or received on postcrossing.com, then others can choose different cards as favorites, even if they were not sent to them personally. As I looked at exchanged cards awhile ago, this particular one caught my eye.  I was delighted when a copy of the card arrived in my mailbox on July 21!
