Tennessee, Nashville

Tennessee is a state located in southern United States with Nashville being the capital city.

From Greg, showing Riverfront Park in Nashville. It says here, Riverfront at 1st Avenue and Broadway on the banks of the Cumberland River is the main pick up point forthe Nashville trolleys. I simply understand a trolley being a shopping cart, or a small trolley you use to drag bags or suitcase :D But a trolley in Nashville is an open-air sightseeing bus, seen in this picture as well. It’s a perfect means for especially tourists to get to see great landmarks in whole of the city. The building with the guitar painted on it is the Hard Rock Cafe.

From Greg again. With a bright Nashville view at night. The big plate shaped building at the back is home to Nashville’s hockey team. Down the Cumberland River is the General Jackson cruise with dinner and activities aboard.

From Greg again. Many people in Tennessee own horses, and the “walking” horses are famous for its smooth and easy gaits and kind nature, yet very expensive to purchase one.

US-216583 from Roselena. This is the historic Tennessee State Capitol in the Memorial Square, built in 1859 and located on a high hill in downtown Nashville. The tower is designed after the monument of Lysicrates in Athens, Greece.

Lass uns Deutsch lernen

Ich habe einige Postkarten aus Deutschland mit den deutschen text auf sie.. auch wenn ich nicht Deutsch lernen, aber ich finde es interessan.. OKAY who am I kidding now? :P The earlier sentences are obviously gotten from online translator hehe.. I am not learning German but I quite love how it sounds… at least in Marius Müller’s songs :) And I suppose this is a linguistic entry for my Germany postcards. Let’s learn German! :D

From Karin, with a springtime song:

We are ploughing and sowing
the seeds into the earth
but it’s God who lets
it grow and flourish.

All benefits
are coming from God
therefore we say thank you,
thank you very much,
and we have confidence in Him.

From Swan, with a proverb:

“You can’t do something great everyday,
but for sure you can always do something good.”

From Sarah, with a legendary saying:

An Ulm sparrow is not stupid,
if one doesn’t get in straight,
he just tilts the stem!

From Geheimnis.

“Many greetings from Waterkant.”

DE-301818 from Sonja, with a delicious creamy coffee message:

“Thinking of you!”

Oregon

Hello again…… after so long :) This is really random, that I decided to feature cards from Oregon, USA.. not that I know many things about the state, and I happen to have received some cards from there enough to tell me that Oregon has a really beautiful nature one could wish to live in, spanning both valleys and mountains. Oregon is located in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, and its capital is Salem.

US-11303 rom BunTraveler, showing purple Iris grow wild along the Metolius River, so do the canopies of pines, larch, fir, and cedar.. making this river a perfect recreational spot in Oregon.

From BunTraveler  again, this time as a thank you card as I was hosting her ToyVoyager HoppyVanderHare some time in 2007. Okay this gorgeous snowy mountain is the Mount Bachelor, a volcanic mountain yet an incredible skiing area.

US-52793 from Elsje. Portland is a city with 1/2 mil people and the city land is split in two by this Williamette River… and there’s a pink Sternwheeler cruises along the river.

US-90072 from Ashleigh with a breathtaking view of Mount Hood and its reflection in Trillium Lake. Mount Hood is also among the stratovolcanos in Oregon which are most likely to erupt, but not explosive.

From Denali. This waterfall is so really……. tall!! This is one of many spectacular falls can be found along the Columbia River highway. Columbia River is the largest river in the Pacific Northwest region crossing 7 states and one Canadian province.
