Frozen Moments

I absolutely like this home-made real photo postcard.
Ngai of Shah Alam, Malaysia send me his own photo that he took from The Helix Bridge & Marina Bay Sand of Singapore. The photo is mat on a cardstock.

Life through a camera lens is full of wonder. Focusing on how the world around you looks can also help break through your negative thoughts.

Blaricum, Netherlands

Dineke wrote on the postcard that this is an 100 years-old picture of the town where she was born.

The area of the municipality of Blaricum is 1559 hectares and it is situated in the south easterly part of the province of North Holland well known as "het Gooi".
The name could be explained by the combination of the personal name Blaheri with the addition of "inga" with the word "heem" (dwelling-place). The geographical dictionaries, such as "Van der Aa" also give the names Blaercom, Blarikom and Blaren to indicate the village.
