In every country I travel to, I try to find a postcard as a souvenir. Sometimes, this is an easy find, and other times it’s challenging. However, whenever I do find myself in that shop or at that stand, I try to select a postcard that is inspired by what I’ve done in that particular place. As a result, I now have quite a few pictures that I’ve taken or pictures that were taken of me that resemble postcards I’ve selected. I’ll post 24 examples below. Which is your favorite?
