#176 - CHINA - sueding
A wonderful green card!
It shows a UNESCO HEritages in China - the Mt. Taishan.
The sacred Mount Tai ('shan' means 'mountain') was the object of an imperial cult for nearly 2,000 years, and the artistic masterpieces found there are in perfect harmony with the natural landscape. It has always been a source of inspiration for Chinese artists and scholars and symbolizes ancient Chinese civilizations and beliefs.And a panorama sight: http://www.world-heritage-tour.org/asia/china/taishan/nan-tian-men-up-6600-steps/sphere-flash.html
Looks beautiful! thank you very much for the card!

#172 - NETHERLANDS - blue79
One more favorite card which i received today! I love users who read my profile and since we have the possibility to upload our received cards on the official site, we also can add favorites we saw by others! Thank you so much for a blue dutch history lesson :)
And something strange on the card as well: did you noticed the mark nect to the airmail label? Frankering gecontroleerd . it says that the postage value was controlled. is it because blue79 used old dutch stamps with no euros on it? strange or does it mean that they have too much free time to count the postage? or do the count them just once per week? :) Questions over questions, but i think it's my first speculation!

#170 - TURKEY - pinuccia
A wonderful mosques from Ankara. pinuccia wrote me on the card: We don't have many majestic mosques as Ankara wasn't the leading city during the reign of Ottoman Empire (1299-1919). This one is the biggest in Ankara and compared with the blue mosque in Istanbul - rather small! :D ok when you say! ;)
The Arabic word on the front side say something like With the name of creator and ruler, God
I found a quite interesting 3D View homepage from Turkey Kocatepe Mosque - 3D Virtual Tour
