Yesterday I received "Hard Rock Cafe" by @gbroadbridge - very exotic picture for me - Mexico.... Thank you for the postcard.

Cards received so far:
@drpsilver - Tree Yearning - interesting abstract tree detail. I turned it right too, but saw a dragon head
@koraks - Power Lines at Dusk - beautiful panoramic color print with pronounced sky.
Thank you!

Received last Friday.

"Power lines at dusk" - @koraks - Very interesting - I've never tried that type of subject, and it works really well. Print arrived in mint condition as well which is a bonus. Thanks!

Thanks for the receipt confirmation @bedrof and @gbroadbridge ! Happy to hear the cards are still making it across the globe - and in good condition, no less!

More cards arrived - a courier brought my mail from the bypass address.
@Todd Barlow - Gear and Chain - An interesting composition. This old paper gives that slightly vintage look to the frame and despite age it shows very nice local contrast.
@mfohl - Tire and Shadow - Another interesting example of objects found that make a decent half abstract picture.
These two cards do go well together.
@mshchem - Sunday Afternoon - Such a yawn makes me almost fall asleep myself
@jvo - An Afternoon Sail, NY Harbor - This card lacks sharp details, but conveys the feel very well. Nice one too.

Thanks!

Thank you bedrof for the confirmation that you received the card I sent.

"Hard Rock Cafe" from gbroadbridge show how much cultures mix so close to the boarder (Mexico, Cuba, USA). Nice color balance in the sun and print.
"Powerades Lines at Dusk" from koraks gives the impression of pairs of men marching in formation. Very nicely printed - I have never printed in color. You have certainly mastered color balance in the printing process.

Regards,
Darwin

I received bedrof's "industrial building", almost brutial-ist and graphic with lines, shapes and curves. seems so simple, yet mesmerizing and fun to look at - very well done

thanks ilya.

An untitled card from mshchem (Mike Hayslett) of a mailbox and sign advertising duck and chicken eggs for sale. I like the composition. Nicely exposed and printed.

I've received the same card in the (UK) post today! The mailbox like that is definitely something I associate with America (although curb-side mailboxes were also common in South Australia when I lived there). Printed on Ilford RC Multigrade and looks stunning, not a pixel in sight! Thanks @mshchem
