Portugal: Óbidos

Once the wedding present of a queen, the preserved medieval town of Óbidos lying 100 km north of Lisbon is without doubt one of Portugal's most classic walled settlements. Walking the ramparts, visitors can enjoy views of windmills, vineyards and surrounding farmlands. In the residential area below, narrow cobblestone streets are lined with whitewashed houses sporting terracotta roofs. The shops are piled high with local handicrafts, while in spring the town is ablaze with geraniums, morning glories and bougainvillaea.

Russia: Happy New Year!

Russian New Year's postcard. It's good that Russian Post issues official holiday greetings postcards, not folded cards!

Russia: Summer harvest

Summer harvest, my favourite food :) An Atelier Nouvelles Images style card from a Russian manufacturer.

Private swap. Thanks, Marinka!




Russia: Khabarovsk

Lenin Square in my hometown, Khabarovsk. A favourite recreation place. Suprisingly, nobody drinks beer on this photo. It must be hard to find a street view picture of Khabarovsk where nobody drinks beer :)

Private swap. Thanks, Marinka!
