Panda Ride


Postcard US-2615865 to Hong Kong, entitled "Panda Ride", was created by Caroline Nyman, a self-taught digital painter from Sweden currently living in Belgium. I don't know whether Michelle Obama had seen this postcard before her week-long visit to China, but it could explain how the First Lady got the inspiration on using a bamboo stick to feed apples to some cute pandas, with her mother Marian Robinson's assistance and her daughter Malia looking on, at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding on March 26, 2014.

Terveiset Luostolta


Postcard FI-2007427 brought "Greetings from Luosto" from Finland. Luosto is a mountain in Finnish Lapland with an elevation of 514 meters or 1686 feet. It's part of the Pyhä-Luosto National Park. The area is home to ski centers, and the Finnish Meteorological Institute weather radar.

As Getty Images just opened up embedded photos, my search of "Luosto, Finland" on their web site returned only the following photo. Their embed tool is very simple to use. However, I wish there were an option to allow customized size.
