Charlotte-Genesee Lighthouse
Rochester, New York, USA

Cape Hatteras, North Carolina

Cape Hatteras lighthouse protects one of the most hazardous sections of the Atlantic Coast, known as he "Graveyard of the Atlantic". Lit on December 1, 1870, the lighthouse is the tallest brick lighthouse in North America, standing at 195.8 feet. In 1999, due to threatening beach erosion, the lighthouse was moved 2,900 feet to its current location.

European Capitals (Postcrossing)

Vienna (Austria)

I got this postcard from Vienna last November, through the Postcrossing site. I like to read postcrossers profiles and know about their preferences. Sometimes people are quite specific, and funny. There are also some people who are not, but they ask for postcards like "a view from the capital city of your country". 

Browsing among my received postcards, I have found that getting postcards from the capital cities is not as common as you might think. Maybe is just that I do not ask for them. But these are almost all the European capitals I have got as Postcrossing postcards.

I think it is curious that I have never received postcards featuring Berlin, Lisboa, Madrid...

Tallinn (Estonia)

Helsinki (Finland)

Rome (Italy)

Riga (Latvia)

Vilnius (Lithuania)
