  1. I thought that was a very simple monastery by the lake until I clicked the link, wow, that card undersells it, although I like the Lake Ladoga view.

    1. I agree. The postcard is a bit odd. Maybe they wanted to show the beauty of the lake above all.

    2. I was also a little underwhelmed with the first one, until like Joy, I clicked on the link!

  2. Such a pretty postcard that second is! Sometimes illustrations and paintings are nicer than photos for me.
