Postcard # 13

I fell in love with this postcard when I saw it. The painter is Vlad Kravchuk. I love his brushstrokes and the colors in the painting are alive. I liked it so much that I even checked his website to see his other works. I am so glad to receive this postcard that I am thinking of ordering them online.

Direct Swap # 15

Last, but definitely not the least, among the cards I received last May 2 is the Harry Potter postcard.  I really love it!  This postcard is from Lena from Germany.  I swapped this for a Philippine map card.

Postcard Pal #2

Don't you just hate it when they stamp your postcard in front?

This one was sent to me by Defri and look at what they did to it.  This is a postcard of an old world map. I can see the Philippines in the map.

Direct Swap # 13 and #14

This is my Postcrossing Meetup card.  The one who sent it to me is Amanda from Houston, Texas.  

Aside from the meet up card, she also sent me a wonderful postcard of a waterfalls.  This is in the Grand Canyon National Park, one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the United States. I love this postcard, too.  I am thinking of collecting UNESCO WHS postcards.

My first postcard from Singapore courtesy of Eunice Lim.

She said that these flowers are in Singapore Gardens by the Bay. I think these are pansies but I am not sure.

My first postcard from Latvia!

I had a surprise swap with Anda of Latvia and this is what I got. I wasn't able to ask her what place is in the postcard. Maybe I'll ask her later so I'll know more about this postcard.

Postcard # 12

This is a postcard of Poltava. Poltava is the capital city of Ukraine. I tried to identify the places in these postcards. I hope I got them correctly.

The one that looks like a pole is the Poltava Oblast. To its right is The White Arbor.  The monument is called Shevchenko Monument. Top most building in the right side is the Poltava Regional Musuem. The two churches are the Uspenska Church (left) and The Holy Cross Exaltation Monastery (right).
