Misión San Francisco de Asís, located in the Mission district of San Francisco, California was founded June 29, 1776, under the direction of Father Junipero Serra and is both the oldest original intact Mission in California and the oldest building in San Francisco.

I took this photo while shopping nearby in one of my favorite Mexican shops where I go to buy hand made corn tortillas. The real thing; not those cardboard ones in most groceries. The mission is on Dolores Street near 16th, two blocks from Mission Street where (naturally) I'll stop for a taco or tamale before heading back home.

Mt. Rainier , Washington

Postcard: Winter Mt. Rainier by glstorrs

I live in one of the prettiest places in the world, I think. As I drive to work each morning, Mt. Rainier rears her snow-covered head (if she feels like it) above the southern Puget Sound. This view of the mountain is taken with a zoom lens from Federal Way, WA on a cold February evening. Mt. Rainier is 54 miles southeast of Seattle, and is 14,411 feet at her summit, and she's beautiful at any season.

I think the red hibiscus flower that someone placed in the statue's hands is a fine touch!

This picture was taken in December 2010. I went to Palestine for work and had a trip to the Dead Sea one day. I didn't bring the swimsuit, so while the members of my group were having fun in the water, I was taking pictures of the landscape. The water is very oily, warm and salty, of course.

Royal Street , New Orleans, Louisiana

Rainswept Royal Street Postcard by Sialicious

Royal Street empties into a deep mist, the buildings imbued with the souls and emotions of all who've come before. As you gaze down the street, you can almost feel time slipping away as that black magic takes you back.. The corner of Royal Street and St. Peter is as good a place as any to see the melding of old and new in one of the most amazing cities in the United States. New Orleans is a phoenix that continually rises from the ashes to the sound of a jazz saxophone with the ringing echoes of Mardi Gras past. Ecelectic shops and eclectic people gather in the French Quarter ensuring that you will have a one of a kind experience. Whether you tour a cemetary at night or enjoy a beverage along Burbon Street or stroll through the Garden district the city will take a piece of your soul and leave a little something in your heart.

Boca do Inferno (Hell's mouth) Cascais postcard by aapshop

La boca do inferno,or hell's mouth, is a curiosity on the Portuguese coast, next to the city of Cascais. The site consists of a natural grotto created by the constant crashing of the waves against the cliff side. The ocean is particularly powerful on this coast. The sight and sound of the crashing and bubbling up of water inside this natural cavern is an awesome experience. The crashing sound of the waves resonates from within. It's the devil's cauldron!

You can almost hear the powerful roar of the mighty Horsetail Falls, its dynamic force evident in the rushing waters. Frozen in this photo, yet still retaining that feeling of raw nature and exhilaration. Caught on a gorgeous, and sunny, summer day, the waterfall contrasts beautifully with the greenery that surrounds it. Located along the Columbia River Historic Hwy parallel to I-84 between Portland and Hood River in Oregon, it is the last in a well-known chain of waterfalls dotting the Hwy and one of the most accessible. More waterfalls and other natural sites can be found further east on the Columbia River Hwy so named for the Columbia River that it follows.

New Orleans, Louisana

St. Louis Cathedral Postcard by Sialicious

Tall and silent, St. Louis Cathedral stands as it has for many years, its cultivated lawn and wandering walking paths a favorite for tourists and locals alike.

The cathedral was consecrated in 1794 and has been said to tbe the oldest continuously active cathedral in the country. Here you can see the cathedral looming behind the statue of Andrew Jackson, on horseback, as depicted by Clark Mills.

Souvenirs of Quepos Post Card by debinSC

Painted Hills, Oregon

Painted Hills John Day Fossil Beds Oregon Postcard by SialiciousStationary

In a word? Stunning. That is one easy way to describe the Painted Hills of the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument in Eastern Oregon. The summer days are hot and the hiking can be tiring but one look at the gorgeous bands of color running through the hills around you and all your discomfort is forgotten. Part of the John Day Fossil Beds, this outpost shows off the wonders that nature can paint given time, the elements and layer upon layer of different environments becoming buried and then exposed after millenia. The colors in the hills are the result of oxidation of various metals, the different colors show that the surrounding environment went through many changes from plains, to swamp, to rainforest like conditions and each of those introduced a new layer of metals. It is also said that the hills take on a pastel, softer sheen of pinks and golds after a rain - regardless of the weather, the experience is awe-inspiring.

Harbor Islands , Antigua

The Columbia River Gorge has many faces, and this one is bathed in rich gold. In the distance a boat is floating beneath the fading rays of the sun as another hot summer day comes to a close on the Columbia River which creates a natural border between Oregon and Washington state. The Columbia River Gorge is well known both for its beauty, for its windsurfing, its highly accessible waterfalls and of course its role in the Lewis & Clark expedition. Just one of many fantastic places to visit in Oregon, the Columbia River Gorge has many small state parks that allow access to the river or views of it from above.

Palm & Ocean Postcard - style 2 by nuestraherenciaco

Years later, many in Loiza still live below poverty levels...yet the beauty of the beaches is truly a beach lover's dream.

Creuse , France

Spring in the Creuse postcard by ruralfrance

The Creuse is a department in the Limousin region of central France. Most people know the name Limoges from the pottery, but this is the countryside about 40 miles to the east, very rural and hilly with plenty of woodland. In spring the fields come alive with swathes of yellow dandelions, as bright as any canola fields. In this photo they are dotted with flowering cherry trees, with a tiny hamlet in the distance.

Toll End Works bridge , UK

Toll End Works bridge postcard by ruralfrance

I've always found beauty in some of the early industrial scenes.
In the heart of the iron making and coal mining area (not called the Black Country for nothing!) on the outskirts of Birmingham in the UK, this is a striking grade two listed black and white iron footbridge with the name Toll End Works cast into it - the name of the iron works that made it. The bridge was built in the mid 19th century and the surrounding area is now a nature reserve. In the background is the derelict Cobbs Engine House, also a listed building, which was built around 1831 and used to pump water from the mines into the canal. The steam engine it used to house is now in the Henry Ford Museum in Michigan!

Devils Wall, Germany "Teufelsmauer"

Devils Wall by Eyefish

These rocks are part of the 'Teufelsmauer' (Devil's Wall). A geologic formation northeast of the Harz mountains in Germany. It is several miles long and looks like ruins of a giant wall. Local legends say there was a bet between god and devil. The devil was allowed to keep all land which he could surround by a wall within one day. The devil was too greedy and did not finish his work in time. So he got no country on the surface and what you can see now are remains of this partially finished wall.
