The next postcard is from not too far from where we are....
A postcard from New York City!
A beautiful black and white postcard with a scene of New York City and a listing of all the famous spots in the city! It's been a few years since we have been there, but I think it's time to make another trip!! The woman who sent it also drew a few pictures of some NY things...an apple (for The Big Apple), a taxi (which you can see all over the city) and a hot dog (for the famous hot dog stands on the street corners!) She is quite an artist...the pictures are great!

Our next is from Norway!
The sender is from Fauske, a small town in Nordland County. Fauske is known for several marble quarries that are located in the municipality. The marble is exported to many countries, where it can be observed in many monumental buildings, among them the United Nations Headquarters in New York City! The fourth picture down on the left is a scene from Geiranger. Geiranger is the crowing glory among Norway's fjord district's pearls of natural beauty. Majestic, snow-covered mountain peaks, beautiful and wild waterfalls, lush, green vegetation and deep blue waters.

The next one is also from Norway!
It shows a scene from Skudeneshavn. Skudeneshavn's old town, consisting of 225 wooden houses, is regarded as one of the best preserved in Europe. In 2004, it was voted Norway's "Summer Town" by listeners to NRK Radio.

Next up......Poland!
This postcard is from Poland and shows the Renaissance Town Hall in Poznan. It was used as the City's administration building until 1939. The gothic town hall that preceded it on this site burnt down in 1536 and was replaced by the Italian architect Giovanni Battista Quadro with the present structure.
The sender of this postcard also drew a cute picture for Jack...it's a bumble bee!! Another great artist!!
