The Palace Bridge with a view of the Peter and Paul Fortress


Postcard ID: RU-2021991
Country: Russia

I think that drawbridges of Saint-Petersburg is known in many world countries. As Russia is our neighbor we know about it and want to see these performance, preferably during white nights in June :)

Palace Bridge  is a road traffic and foot bascule bridge spanning the Neva River in Saint Petersburg between Palace Square and Vasilievsky Island. Like every other Neva bridge (except for Big Obukhovsky Bridge), it is drawn by night, making foot travel between various parts of the city virtually impossible. It was built by the French firm Société de Construction des Batignolles.

The total length of Palace Bridge is 260.1 metres, width is 27.8 metres. It is actually composed of five spans, the southernmost joining Palace Embankment between Winter Palace and Admiralty and leading to Palace Square.

The Waidaibu Bridge


Postcard ID: KR-76584
Country: Korea (South)

Hurray! This is the first card from Korea coming to me :)
It shows the Waidubudu bridge in China. As sender wrote, the bridge is the first true steel truss bridge in China. I'm not a fan of postcards with bridges, but think that this one is wonderful! Hmm.. I think I should pay more attention to bridges :)

Also here is a stamp from postcard:

Prague, Czech Republic


Postcard ID: CZ-396556
Country: Czech Republic

This card is named on the backside like Prague. The Vltava river. Charles Bridge. The Prague castle.
However for me this is one from the most beautiful city in the world. I love this place with all my heart and to be honest, I'd like to live there.
When I see on this card I remember October 2010 when i visited Czech Republic. I was walking along this bridge, floating on a boat on the Vltava river and admired this castle. I can talk about Czech Republic and Prague endlessly, however I strongly recommend just visit this place to understand that there are no words to describe beauty of Prague :)

And look on these stamps! My thanks to Hana for this great emotions which your card gave to me :)
