London Bridge Australia
Design is by Chris Carney

I have number 1 and 2 in a limited edition of 50 for this unused postcard.

The sender writes:
My husband Dick took the photo of London Bridge when we were on holiday in Australia.  Lots of people walked out to the far side.  Not for me - too much water and too high on the "bridge" and too narrow.  Shortly after we were there the 'bridge' part collapsed stranding people on the far side.  They had to be rescued by helicopter.  The noise when the rock gave way was horrendous, luckily no one was on the bridge when it went.

Trinidad and Tobago
Home of the Steelpan

Double Tenor, Bass and Tenor

Did You Know?
The steel pan is the National Musical Instrument of Trinidad and Tobago where it originated in the early 20th century.  Musicians who play the steel pan are called pannists.  A group of pannists who play together is called a steel band.  Annually at Carnival time, there is a steel band competition called Panorama.

This postcard was designed by Nalini Mohammed.

Oregon City, Oregon
This is my favorite picture of my backyard garden pond.  My pond is full of frogs and goldfish.  It is a very peaceful and relaxing place.  The sounds of the waterfall and frogs is so wonderful. Hope you enjoy this card!
