SPCP - Photographic touristy postcard

@pahasiga is running this swap in another group and kindly gave me permission to set it up here as well!

August is a time for holidays and vacations! And it's a time for sending postcards. Let's do the same! And as this is a photography group, we'll make our own photo postcards.

You don't really need to travel in order to participate in this swap. Surely also your own corner of world has something that is worth to make a postcard of? Snap a tourist-y photo (or several, if you want to make a multiview card), put the name of the place (town, national park, zoo, whatever is most relevant) on the front, and on back write a note about the place and your experience. Don't forget to put the swap name and your username somewhere as well.

You can have your photo commercially printed or print it out yourself if your home equipment produces reasonable quality prints and mount it onto cardboard. Alternatively you could print it directly onto cardboard (but make sure it's a sturdy enough backing to survive the postal service) or even use a special postcard printing service. Make sure the size of your postcard is within the limits of your country - a regular 10x15cm or 4"x6" is usually a safe way to go, but you can do some other format if you wish. The place name on the front may be added before or after printing, just as you want, any way you want (including handwritten in a permanent marker, so you don't have to be tech savvy for this). You don't have to send your postcard from the place you are visiting -- it's fine to wait until you get home!

Please note that while "my parents in front of X" is definitely a touristy family photo, it is not suitable as a touristy postcard. It's fine to have people in the background (for some tourist attractions it may be hard to take a photo without anyone wandering into it) but it should be a general postcard, not a family one..

NB! The photo must be taken between August 1st and 31st this year. Earlier (or later) photos are not acceptable for this particular swap. I'm giving us the first week and a half of September for making the postcard -- so even if you take the picture on the last day of August you should be okay.

To recap:
