Connecting the World with #LinkingPostcards

Link number 3 on the global chain of # LinkingPostcards completed. This link connects Slovakia with Germany, Bratislava with Waldkraiburg in Bavaria. These dreamlike photos come almost from the neighborhood, if compared with the first two links Michal Vörös , the author of these marvelous postcards caught my eyes with such blurred, mostly minimalist images, like out of a dream. I'm so happy he's among those, who immediately said - I want to participate. The card Michal received from me is the Icarus I found on the island of Tenerife . Dreams are my reality , Michal says in his profile description and live, love laugh ...  That's one of the reasons I selected Icarus the dreamer, which fits his description so well, but even more the inscription on the wall " FINCA PURA VIDA " which means PURE LIFE ESTATE (property) ... Watching his lovely Donna you can feel this pure life emerging out of his photos.  The stamp is a detail from a calender (a machin...

The first cards coming from an European country: Slovakia Michal Vörös Thank you Michal . Your card put that huge smile you sent me on my face. I love your dreamscapes a lot and will keep them in safe place. As soon as you receive mine, it's already on its way to you, please send me a picture of the card and stamp as the others did, so I can create the connection in a blog article and on the # LinkingPostcardsMap . Link created - please click here to view the post   The first card that did not cross the German border to reach me, but it was shot on the Island of Mallorca. Susanne Stelle Dear Susanne , I'm afraid you will have to wait a few more days before I can send you one of my cards. When I ordered my special stamps, did not consider I might send any cards to someone in Germany, but I would like to send all my cards with this special kind of unique stamps. I hope it's going to be worth waiting. Link created - please click here to view the post The ...

The second link on this hopefully endless chain of # LinkingPostcards was created between Germany and New Zealand. That's over one day away by airplane. This time the card came in an envelope with handwritten letter. I can't even remember when I got my last handwritten letter. Even if I received a letter by regular mail from friends the content was computer printed. Only the envelope was handwritten. Came from DownUnder all the way to Bavaria Together with Luci Westphal from Colorado, Maire Thompson was my inspiration for starting the chain of # LinkingPostcards . It was wonderful reading about the place you live, seems to be a wonderful place, and thank you for inspiring me to start this chain of # LinkingPostcards . Burghausen the longest castle in Europe went all the long way to New Zealand Last Sunday, however, I read on a plate giving information on the castle for tourists, that it's the longest castle in the world. Whether the longest in Europe or ...

The very first card I ever received within this action of #LinkingPostcards came all the way over from Coloarado in the United States of America and it shows one of my favorite places, that I visited twice, so far. It was so wonderful to hear, that Luci Westphal , the sender of the card, was there too and so was her father. 3 people, 3 different times, same place Cliff Palace, Mesa Verde, Colorado Luci was also my inspiration for starting this chain of #LinkingPostcards together with Maire Thompson from New Zealand.  This card went all the way over the Atlantic Ocean to Colorado. This is Chiemsee, my favorite Bavarian Lake in Feldwies / Übersee The image on this card was shot at my favorite Bavarian lake - Chiemsee. It's about 30 min. drive from where I live. After a long way of work, being stressed and tired, we would go some place at the lake just to relax enjoy the sunset. This is a special place, that has deckchairs the year through outside (provided it...

The idea of exchanging own creations on postcards or printed photographs didn't stop with the collection. I wanted to have an overview, where all my cards were sent to, and where from I got a card back. But this is impossible to be realized with Google+ Collections. I want to see all the locations were my cards have been sent to on a map, and by the end of the year I'm going to check how many continents, countries, locations and people we connect with #LinkingPostcards . Missing Link between sender, recipient and # LinkingPostcards Map If you receive one of my cards, please take a photo of the card and the stamp. You may either post it publicly or send me the photo in a private message (if you do not want your name to be published). If publicly posted, please do not forget to share it with me, too. I might not see or omit it because of too many new postings in my stream. The photo is meant to be included in this blog and added to the appropriate location on the #Lin...
