This is a Postcrossing meet up card where is looks like about 20 people met in Pawtucket, Rhode Island in July 2025. 

4340 - Greensboro, North Carolina, United States

This is a great vintage card from Niagara Falls. The card is of the illuminated American fall at night during the winter. I have some of these types of cards in my "to send" pile and I did just send one to Australia. It was a photo of Banff. 

4339 - Shanghai, China

This is an advertisement card for a restaurant from Shanghai. The sender is from Shanghai and say there are many impressive buildings, but the city needs more flowers and trees. 

4338 - Durham, North Carolina, United States

The sender picked up this card when he was visiting family in Maine. Moose are a common site in Maine.  Moose are the world's tallest, largest, and heaviest extant species of deer. It is the tallest, and second largest land mammal in North America (bison are first). There is evidence that moose have been hunted by human as far back as the last Ice Age. 

4337 - Liwan, Guangzhou, China

A nice postcard from Macau showing cannon placements in an old fort (?).  The sender is from Liwan  荔湾区 , an urban district in the city and province of Guangzhou. It is an area of 63 square kilometres and has 1 113 000 residents. On the back of the card the sender used postage stamps with Cao Yu  雷雨 (1910-1996), a Chinese dramatist. The sender says his favourite Cao Yu play is Thunderstorm. Thunderstorm was written in 1933. It tells a story of the disastrous effects of rigid traditionalism and hypocrisy on the wealthy, modern, somewhat westernized Zhou family. It centres on the Zhou family's psychological and physical destruction as a result of incest and oppression, caused by morally depraved and corrupt patriarch, Zhou Puyuan, a wealthy businessman.

Teltow is located just outside of Berlin. It is connected to Berlin's S-Bahn network. Because of its easy access to Berlin, Teltow is a bedroom community of Berlin.
