See It On A Postcard's Thursday Postcard Hunt is walking down urban streets
 |
| Charing Cross, Glasgow |

| Eastgate, Lincolnshire |
Early morning in Louth, Lincolnshire. I had a look online and nothing much has changed here, the Pack Horse Hotel and bar is still there although not the Coffee Tavern but there is no doubt there will be a coffee shop on the street somewhere. Somehow the word 'tavern' does sound more fun. The lower shop fronts and signage of course are now boringly modern and cars park on the left, yellow lines and no parking on the right. The church spire is St James and the tallest medieval church spire in the country.

| York Street, Albany, Western Australia |
A clear blue sky in Australia, just like where I am today, except of course with summer rather than winter temperatures. The card says - "York Street is Albany's main commercial area and overlooks the beautiful Princess Royal Harbour". Pity we can't see it. I could have used it for next week's theme.

Vintage postcards are always beautiful. But a view of water always gets my attention.
The Australian one looks like a scene from a movie chase scene where they drive right into a body of water! I'm thinking of What's Up, Doc? with Barbara Streisand and Ryan O'Neal!
Such a wide main street in WA. The awnings in Louth are interesting - you don't see that anymore. I'm familiar with Charing Cross - but only with masses of traffic!
