Let It Snow

 See It On A Postcard's Thursday Postcard Hunt is looking out for snow

Japanese artists are fond of snowy scenes and here the card shows a detail of a  Utagawa Kunisada woodcut showing 'Kabuki actors on a bridge in winter' (1854).
Makrinitsa,Thessaly,Greece

The village of Makrinitsa is built on the slopes Mount Pelion above the port city of Velos so there will be great views of Volos and the Pagasetic Gulf from here.  As can be imagined the area is a popular skiing destination. A beautiful area of Greece in both winter and summer

so which would you choose?

The characters on the first postcard seem to belong to the card I posted :)

I cannot choose between beach and snow. I love both! But there is more sand than snow where I live now.

I only like the snow for a few days (which is what I usually get here), but I really don't like the idea of Florida beaches. It's a cute postcard! I'll stay home.

I am not a beach person and i wouldn't mind the snow - without the bike! It's funny, I don't really associate Greece with snow.
