Seattle, Washington, USA

Seattle is a major coastal seaport in Washington. The area has been inhabited by native Americans since over 4000 years before the first white settlers arrived in 1851. The first major industry of the city was logging,  but during the Klondike Gold Rush in the late 19th century it became the gateway to Alaska as a commercial and shipbuilding center.

Charlottenburg Palace was built at the end of the 17th century and is the largest palace in Berlin, Germany. It is the only surviving royal residence in the city of the Hohenzollern Family. It was badly damaged in World War II but has been reconstructed and now is a major tourist attraction in our captial city.  The original palace was commissioned by Sophie Charlotte (hence the name of the palace), the wife of Friedrich III, Elector of Brandenburg.

Miltenberg, Bavaria, Germany

This card I sent myself when visiting Miltenberg. A really fascinating town in the north of Bavaria, like a relict of times long gone. With numerous awesome half-timbered houses and buildings,  this place seems to "breathe" history. We had an icecream on market square and enjoyed the same view as seen on the card :)
