Country: USA

Here is so beautiful landscape and so great mountains! And so small people :)

Denali National Park and Preserve is a national park and preserve located in Interior Alaska, centered on Denali (Mount McKinley), the highest mountain in North America. Denali's landscape is a mix of forest at the lowest elevations, including deciduous taiga. The preserve is also home to tundra at middle elevations, and glaciers, rock, and snow at the highest elevations. The longest glacier is the Kahiltna Glacier. Today, 400,000 people visit the park annually. They view wildlife, climb mountains, and backpack. Wintertime activities includes dog-sledding, cross-country skiing, and snowmachining.

Here is a quote from the backside:

Postcard ID: UA-955902
Country: Ukraine

Oh, I have a story regarding this postcard. Some months ago I received a postcard without Postcard Id, but with name Nastya and with user name. I used Postcrossing search to find Id for the card that was sent to me by Nastya from Kyiv. Id was found, I registered a postcard and found out that user name is another than on the card.
So the I found a user by user name, sent a message to her. And found that this girl sent me this card not through postcrossing, I gave her my address on another resource! But postcard was already registered...

Some weeks after that I received postcard from this post. Again without Postcard Id. And again from Nastya from Kyiv. So I decided that this is right card. Postcrossing Search could not help me to find the correct Postcard Id due to lack of the info..

Domestic cats

Postcard ID: UA-1213281
Country: Ukraine

I like cats and after receiving this card I want to have one, especially black cat :)

Here is some official info:

The domestic cat is a small, usually furry, domesticated, and carnivorous mammal. They are often called a housecat when kept as an indoor pet, or simply a cat when there is no need to distinguish them from other felids and felines. Cats are often valued by humans for companionship, and their ability to hunt vermin and household pests.

I think that everyone know who is a cat :)

Here is a Ukrainian stamp:

Great Smoky Mountains National Park, USA

Postcard ID: US-3127222
Country: USA

Yeah, it's my first UNESCO site postcards from USA! I so like beautiful nature and already in love with this park :)

And thanks for the nice story, Alison! ;)

Great Smoky Mountains National Park is a United States National Park and UNESCO World Heritage Site that straddles the ridgeline of the Great Smoky Mountains, part of the Blue Ridge Mountains, which are a division of the larger Appalachian Mountain chain. The border between Tennessee and North Carolina runs northeast to southwest through the centerline of the park. It is the most visited national park in the United States. On its route from Maine to Georgia, the Appalachian Trail also passes through the center of the park. The park was chartered by the United States Congress in 1934 and officially dedicated by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1940. It encompasses 522,419 acres (816.28 sq mi; 2,114.15 km2), making it one of the largest protected areas in the eastern United States. The main park entrances are located along U.S. Highway 441 (Newfound Gap Road) at the towns of Gatlinburg, Tennessee, and Cherokee, North Carolina. It was the first national park whose land and other costs were paid for in part with federal funds; previous parks were funded wholly with state money or private funds.

Also this postcard has amazing nature stamp:
