Dennis Fast Photography

I've sent nearly a 100 postcards so far.
One of my most popular is of a polar bear in a field of fireweed.

The photo was taken by Dennis Fast
You can see the postcard photo on his site in the popular photo section.
It is the second from the end of the first row.

It is impossible to show you all of the photos.
Most of them have copyright symbols.

Postcard from Belgium

One way for a photographer to be noticed is having their work printed on postcards.

Whenever I receive a postcard that includes the name of the photographer or a web site address, I check it out. For this card, the photographer is Kari Palsila

Nice web site, but no about page.

Postcard Swaps

I received the postcards from my first direct swap with a Postcrossing member in China.

The cards are lovely enough to be framed. The photos on two of the cards were taken by Jesse Cohen, Zoo Photographer. The photos were taken at the Smithsonian National Zoological Park

You can view all four cards in my Wild Life set on Flickr

Postcard from Germany

I received a few postcards recently and posted most of them in my Flickr album

No postcards with a copyright notice are added. Most do not include the name of the photographer, which is sad because many of them are very good. I include my website address on my own. Anyone can have their photos printed on postcards. Just visit my postcard gallery for ideas.

Butzbach, Germany

This nice postcard with a garden and reed roof house was sent to me from Butzbach, Germany.

Many of my pelargoniums were bred in Germany. The most recent is Graziosa Cherry Picotee an interspecific hybrid from Dümmen

Summer Garden, St Petersburg

Latest Postcard. The Summer Garden was founded in 1705 by order of Peter the Great. The sender also mentioned another called Tavrichesky Garden , both designed in the late 1700's.

Herne, Germany

Received this card from a fellow gardener. It gives us 8 impressions of Herne in North Rhine-Westphalia. This part of Europe is in hardiness zone 6b. Meaning it rarely gets colder than - 5 F (-20 C)

Kamakura

I've sent a birthday card to a Postcrossing member in Japan. As a thank you she sent me this lovely card of the bamboo garden in the Hokoku-ji temple.

I'm learning about gardens around the world through postcards.

Postcard from Taiwan

Received this lovely postcard showing a bay of Sun Moon Lake, Nantou, Taiwan. According to Wikipedia, this is the largest body of water in Taiwan. Plus the area has an interesting history. A place I would love to visit with a few cameras.

Kenrokuen garden

Kenrokuen garden, originally uploaded by McFingon.

Received this lovely postcard from Evita in Japan. I grow lots of Iris' in my own garden, it would be a dream to visit this historical garden.

Two more postcards

Received two more cards yesterday. One from Groningen, The Netherlands and the other from Berlin, Germany. You can see them in the Postcard Album

I will be posting more cards tomorrow.

Finally changed the title of the Journal.
McFingon.net made it look out of place.
Also added new links in the site top menu.
The Postcrossing Album is for showing the postcards I've received so far and from where.
You can also see them on the map.

I only joined Postcrossing a few weeks ago so I don't have that many yet.
I will be mailing another one tomorrow or Wednesday.

Due to copyrights, I can no longer publish postcards covers.
