"Greetings From..."

Challenge #35 in the Language Of Light series. Hosted by Deleted pending purge.

Challenge has finished

Let's make some classsic postcards which were so popular before digital communications prevailed. OK, postcards are still being used, but by no means in any significant percentage, and our paper mail nowadays consists mostly of bills... So, use one of the pretty images you have taken, add "Greetings From (insert location name)" or "Welcome To...", and make us want to visit nice places. Do observe the rules, please, so's your postcard won't get lost! :)
