4344 - North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

This is a hand-tinted photograph entitled The Rebel  (1991) by Shelley Niro. Niro is an Indigenous filmmaker and visual artist from Canada. She was born in Niagara Falls, New York, in 1954, but grew up on the Six Nations of the Grand River Reserve near Brantford, Ontario. Niro grew up entertaining her siblings with songs, storytelling, and picture drawing. Her family would make appearances in her art.  Niro is a member of the Turtle Clan of the Kanienkehaka (Mohawk Nation) from Six Nations of the Grand River.  The model on The Rebel  was Niro's mother. The photo can be found in the Canadian Museum of Civilization in Gatineau, Québec. 

4343 - Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil

I think this is a tourist promotional card. On the back, there is information about the photo pre-printed in three difference languages - Portuguese, English, and Spanish.  The photo shows Liberty Square in Belo Horizonte. It reads A Cultural Heritage of Belo Horizonte, the charming Liberty Square gathers around it a diverse architectural landscape, including works by Oscar Niemeyer. A choice for leisure and culture, the square has been a part of the city's history since its foundation.

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.
