A lovely card by none other than, the owner of the meme's Postcard Perfect...Mommy Willa send me a card showing one of the declared modern Seven Wonders of the World by American Society of Civil Engineers, it also belongs to the World Federation of Great Towers, where it holds second-place ranking.

The CN Tower is a communications and observation tower in Downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Standing 553.33 metres (1,815.4 ft) tall, it was completed in 1976, becoming the world's tallest free-standing structure and world's tallest tower. It held both records for 34 years until the completion of the Burj Khalifa and Canton Tower. It remains the tallest free-standing structure in the Western Hemisphere, a signature icon of Toronto's skyline, and a symbol of Canada, attracting more than two million international visitors annually. Its name "CN" originally referred to Canadian National, the railway company that built the tower. Following the railway's decision to divest non-core freight railway assets, prior to the company's privatization in 1995, it transferred the tower to the Canada Lands Company, a federal Crown corporation responsible for real estate development. Since the name CN Tower became common in daily usage, the abbreviation was eventually expanded to Canadian National Tower or Canada's National Tower. However, neither of these names are commonly used. (Source: Wikipedia)

And the card comes with a stamp of a polar bear cub...very lovely and cuddly! *smile*

...is a town in the German district of Passau. She said its in Lower Bavaria and situated in the south-east of Germany.


It comes with a beautiful stamp...


The population of Vilshofen is overwhelmingly Christian which now I understand better why one of the stamp is a Feast of Nativity that refers to the accounts of birth of Jesus that we all known as a Christmas Day and it is called Weihnachten in German. In Vilshofen there is a Catholic Church, a Protestant Church and a new Apostolic Church. 78.36% self-identify as Catholic, 10.78% as Protestant and 10.86% as belonging to another Christian denomination.

Thanks so much Jannette for sending me a multi-view card of your place...I bet its lovely to live there!

Happy Postcrossing, everyone!

 ...is the Polish name for a mountain range in the extreme south-east of Poland, extending into Ukraine and Slovakia. A card that send by Ctnia, a high school student and a member of Postcrossing, she said that this is the typical view around her place, kind of full of not so high mountains.


It forms the western part of what is known in Polish as the Eastern Beskids (Beskidy Wschodnie), and is more generally part of the Outer East Carpathians. The mountain range is situated between the Łupków Pass (640 m) and the Vyshkovskyi Pass (933 m). In a narrower but very frequent sense, Bieszczady refers only to the Western Bieszczady or even only to the part of the range lying within Poland.

The highest peak of Bieszczady is Mt. Pikuy (1405 m) in Ukraine. The highest peak of the Polish part is Tarnica (1346 m).

And this card comes with three lovely stamps...that a card of it would be lovely. Thanks so much Ctnia.

...send by a Postcrossing member named Berta and she's the number one postcrosser in Austria, a member for 4 years.

And she just wrote "Greetings from Austria"...and hello in their language as "Hallo!" I cannot see any note written or printed in the card saying something about it, so I can search online. How I wish she wrote more but anyway, that's her style but I love the card, received it on summer time and just cool to see her card.

Anyway, I went online to search more about the place. Found out that Austria, officially the Republic of Austria is a landlocked country of roughly 8.4 million people in Central Europe. It is bordered by the Czech Republic and Germany to the north, Slovakia and Hungary to the east, Slovenia and Italy to the south, and Switzerland and Liechtenstein to the west. The territory of Austria covers 83,855 square kilometres (32,377 sq mi) and has a temperate and alpine climate. Austria's terrain is highly mountainous due to the presence of the Alps; only 32% of the country is below 500 metres (1,640 ft), and its highest point is 3,798 metres (12,461 ft). The majority of the population speaks German, which is also the country's official language. Other local official languages are Croatian, Hungarian and Slovene.(Source: Wikipedia)

It comes with a lovely stamp, enough to make me chirp...*smile*

...ANPING, Tainan City, Taiwan and this card was published by the City Government.


Anping was originally a small island separated from the mainland of Tainan until the 19th century. Due to the ocean current, the small lagoon between Anping island and Tainan was silted up and gradually disappeared, and Anping became a part of Tainan. Tainan City is a city in southern Taiwan. It is the fifth largest after New Taipei, Kaohsiung, Taichung, and Taipei. It was formerly a provincial city, and in 2010, the provincial city merged with the adjacent Tainan County to form a single special municipality. Tainan faces the Taiwan Strait in the west and south. Tainan's complex history of comebacks, redefinitions and renewals inspired its popular nickname "City of the Phoenix." (Source: Wikipedia...here and here)

A fellow postcrosser from Taiwan send this card to me, she mentioned that this is a pretty casual view in her hometown and this card comes together with a lovely stamp

My sender Hennie doesn't mentioned anything abut this card. But Ot en Sien is an old children's book, written by a teacher in Drenthe, the Netherlands. It was the start of a new method of writing children's books and had profound influence on Dutch elementary education in the first half of the twentieth century

The first series titled Dicht bij Huis ("Close to home"), appeared in 1902. The second series Nog bij Moeder ("Still with mam"), followed in 1904. De author of the stories was Hendricus Scheepstra. However, he acted on the inspiration of Jan Ligthart, who had the intention to expose young people to what he considered a healthy daily family life. The illustrations were made by Cornelis Jetses.

Its only Wednesday and I feel like I am sooo late with Postcard Perfect meme already...and sorry for being one but promise I will be visiting all entries! But just like old saying goes, better late then never! Anyway, I will be sharing a card from Sao Paulo, Brazil send to me by a fellow postcrosser. 

São Paulo is a state in Brazil. It is the major industrial and economic powerhouse of the Brazilian economy. Named after Saint Paul, São Paulo has the largest population, industrial park and economic production of the country. It is the richest state in Brazil. The capital, São Paulo, is also the largest city in South America, the largest city in the southern hemisphere, and the world's seventh largest city by population. The city is anchor to the São Paulo metropolitan area, ranked as the second-most populous metropolitan area in the Americas and among the five-largest metropolitan areas on the planet. São Paulo is the capital of the state of São Paulo, the most populous Brazilian state and exerts strong regional influence in commerce and finance as well as arts and entertainment. São Paulo maintains strong international influence and is considered an Alpha – World City. The name of the city honors Saint Paul.



The Praça da Sé (Sé Square) is a public space in São Paulo, considered the center of town, because is the point from where the distancy of all roads that pass on São Paulo are counted. The square was the location of many historic events in São Paulo's history, most notably during the Diretas Já movement. The name originates from the episcopal see of the city, the São Paulo Cathedral.

The São Paulo See Metropolitan Cathedral --"See" and "cathedra" mean "seat" and therefore the ecclesiastical authority of a bishop or archbishop is the cathedral of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of São Paulo, Brazil. The current Metropolitan Archbishop of the archdiocese is His Eminence, Cardinal Odilo Pedro Scherer. Its construction, in Neo-Gothic style, began in 1913 and ended four decades later. It was ready for its dedication on the 400th anniversary of the foundation of the then humble villa of São Paulo by Chief or Cacique Tibirica' and the Jesuit priests Manuel da Nobrega and Jose' de Anchieta. Despite having a Renaissance-styled dome, the São Paulo Metropolitan Cathedral is considered by some to be the 4th largest neo-gothic cathedral in the world.

Sharing this with Postcard Perfect hosted by Mommy Willa...thanks so much for hosting!

A beautiful painting of rhine maidens by Henri Fantin-Latour (14 January 1836 – 25 August 1904) was a French painter and lithographer best known for his flower paintings and group portraits of Parisian artists and writers.
 
The Rhinemaidens are the three water-nymphs (Rheintöchter or "Rhine daughters") who appear in Richard Wagner's opera cycle Der Ring des Nibelungen. Their individual names are Woglinde, Wellgunde, and Flosshilde, although they are generally treated as a single entity and they act together accordingly. Of the 34 characters in the Ring cycle, they are the only ones who did not originate in the Old Norse Eddas. Wagner created his Rhinemaidens from other legends and myths, most notably the Nibelungenlied which contains stories involving water-sprites (nixies) or mermaids. The key concepts associated with the Rhinemaidens in the Ring operas—their flawed guardianship of the Rhine gold, and the condition (the renunciation of love) through which the gold could be stolen from them and then transformed into a means of obtaining world power—are wholly Wagner's own invention, and are the elements that initiate and propel the entire drama.
