This is the Milenijum Bridge  found in the capital of Montenegro which is Podgorica.  Rajko tells me that he crosses this ridge everyday to get to his University.

Thanks very much Rajko!  Happy that the card finally made it.

Suriname River


Sorry guys I would have posted yesterday but I got caught up doing some stuff so I decided to start off early this morning.   This card is from Suriname a country located in South America which is close to Guyana.  It shows the Suriname river in Paramaribo which is the capital city. Don't know why the water is brown maybe there was recent heavy rainfall in the area.

Thanks Sherwin !

Prague

This is a wonderful view of the capital of Czech Republic Prague.  It contains many buildings of Gothic and Baroc styles which are preserved.  Above the city on the hill is the royal castle and the river Vltava divides the city into two.
