The first one looks like a model - everything is dwarfed by the mountain and waterfall!
ReplyDeleteI like the Cuernavaca postcard. I like the name Cuernavaca: cow horn. The waterfall is impressive.
ReplyDeleteIt is a fun name. Unfortunately, it was based on the inability for the Spanish colonizers to pronounce the original. It was Cuauhnáhuac (Near the Forest), and they just used how it sounded, which is Cuernavaca, cow horn!
DeleteI like to see these vintage postcards and know how the places have changed through time.
ReplyDeleteI love all of them, but that first one is really amazing!
ReplyDeleteIt is an incredible waterfall. Part of it can be seen from the highway, not a good thing as it's a busy highway, and the other side from the falls is the Columbia River. Not a place to take your eyes off the road! I know someone who hydroplaned along there, hit one guardrail, spun, hit the other. It totaled the car, but they were fine. Credit to the Ford Focus, its year was said to be the safest for new drivers at the time. The guardrails were sturdy too, broken, but kept the car out of the river.
DeleteI like those old cards. Really gives you a feel for those locations at those times.
ReplyDeleteReal photo postcards are probably my favorite sort. They might even edge out dogs!
DeleteThese vintage views are amazing - the first one is spectacular
