Dresden with Frauenkirche, Germany

This great postcard came from Ingrid Passarello for the WiP L-Swap. It shows a "Luftaufnahme" (Birds Eye View) of former UNESCO site Dresden with the Frauenkirche. I've been there once, but it was horribly cold back then, I think it was in February a few years ago. I was so sad that I could not really enjoy this absolutely wonderful city because it was so chilly. Really want to go there again when it is warm and sunny :)

Windmill

Wonderful view of a typical Dutch Windmill with the typical Dutch Tulips :) I really love this card. I think today was Postcrossing Day in my mailbox. This one is an official one NL-657046 sent by Marijke.

Kladno, Czech Republic

Another Postcrossing official card, CZ-114876, showing an aerial view of Kladno in the Bohemian region, Czech Republic. It was sent by Blanka.

Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel of Sweden

What a great card! It is perfect for my Royalty collection. It was sent by Franzi from Helsingborg, but for the world I cannot remember tagging anyone for this and the card has neither a ID or the ID of the sender. Anyways, Crownprincess Victoria and her husband Prince Daniel are very welcome in my collection :)

Béguinage of Dendermonde, Belgium (UNESCO)

This card arrived here for the Just Viewcards Round Robin on Postcrossing and put a big smile on my face. It is a new UNESCO site for my collection. The Béguinage of Dendermonde in Belgium, sent by Merryl.

Recently I started to join Postcrossing Round Robins again and this card here came for the Just Viewcards RR today. It was sent by Lauren (Ragnarok7) and shows the Powder Magazine in Charleston, South Carolina.
