I created this image this afternoon in attempt to combat a bout of the blahs and a lack of inspiration. Because I really liked how my last Forgotten Postcard worked out, I thought I’d try to continue the series. This image was taken back in February, on a grey day, at Kinderdijk in the Netherlands. The windmills of Kinderdijk are one of the best known Dutch tourist sites. They were placed on the list of UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites in 1997. Like me, the original image needed a bit of perking up. I hope you like the results.

I visited Uluru/Ayers Rock in January 2008. It was summertime there, and it was incredibly hot (it was 42C at 3.00 am!!) but also incredibly interesting. When I took this photo I was on an aboriginal tour, which I really enjoyed and highly recommend to anyone who travels there. Beautiful landscape, colors and people.

Stonehenge may always be something of an enigma. Current thought is that it was an ancient burial site (cremated remains) and was a city of the dead while another site nearby was the city of the living. Both places would have been ceremonial religious sites, not per se where everyday life took place. Many people are often a bit disappointed when finally visiting Stonehenge. There are far larger and grander constructions today, but placing it in perspective, this was built without the use of what we would think of as tools today around 2,500 BC.

In the time of the Ancient Greeks and Romans, the pyramids at Giza were already ancient. They included them on the list of wonders or must see attractions of the world. The modern list was recorded in the middle ages, but we know the pyramids were on that list, and it appears every other sight listed has been lost since. One looks on these ancient wonders and understand why they have so long been regarded as a treasure. This is the second pyramid on the Giza plateau, the ancient tomb of Pharaoh Khafre.

The last of the three major pyramids at Giza is the pyramid for Pharaoh Menkaure. After this, the building of pyramids at the Giza plateau stopped – in fact, it’s believed this pyramid was completed after the Pharaoh’s death. From this vantage point, the pyramid seems lost and alone against the backdrop of the land and sky. It’s amazing to bear witness to the works of men who lived and died, like we all will, 4,000 years ago. UNESCO World Heritage Site /

This photo was taken during my European vacation in 1998. Monterosso is one of the five towns in Liguria Italy that make up the ‘Cinque Terre’. The Cinque Terre are five coastal villages in the province of La Spezia in the Liguria region of Italy. They have come to be among the most popular areas of Italy among tourists. The coastline, the five villages, and the surrounding hillsides are all encapsulated in a national park by the same name. The Cinque Terre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. / . / This photograph is my personal favourite from my 1998 holiday. / . / This photograph was scanned from a colour negative (big thank you to my brother for letting use his scanner). The photo was was taken using a Nikon F-301 and a 24-120 mm Nikkor Zoom Lens

I marvel at the architecture of this famous place… From the simple stone floor to the detail of individual decorative sculptures, humility sends me to my knees in thanks to the visions of architects long since passed. I dreamed of this as a boy, with ruler and paper, learning perspective in art class. The day we were assigned freehand work, I knew my dream of being a designer of lofty buldings was over. So I deeply admire the men and women who take pencil to paper and draw visions.

The Royal Liver Building is one of the city of Liverpool’s most recognisable landmarks. It stands at 90 metres (295 feet) and has 13 floors. Since its completion in 1911, it has overlooked the River Mersey from its waterfront location on the Pier Head, and forms one of the ‘three graces’. Local folklore has it that should the birds ever leave the City of Liverpool (UK) then the city will no longer exist.
