Does this deal with a night view of your city? Maybe there's a few starts in the scene, but there could be buildings. You mentioned it's touristy.

chocosamurai 10/10/2013 #

Yes it can be. (It doesn't have to be your city but needs to be in the same country/region). So for example a postcard that has a view of a city from a high location at night that has some sky is plausible when there is a view of what the sky looks like..

I mention it is touristy as I have seen people put Touristy Postcards in their dislike section so just fair warning that that is likely what they will get (it wasn't a requirement specifically).

I live in a night sky reserve area so our starry postcards are 'touristy' by default and imagine alot of astonomy related postcards are also touristy ... arty photographed style postcards are welcome if you can find them (just as long as the focus is the night sky!)

Can it be a comic type of postcard?

We have Northern Lights here in Maine, so my swap partner is going to love the pictures I can send! They are amazing! :) What a great idea for a swap!

@fawnscrafts It cannot be cartoony... I would rather like to see the real sky..

@AmyCeltic Oh my I'll be jealous of whoever gets you then!! Northern lights!! Actually I'm jealous you get to live somewhere that you can see them!! (we have southern lights here but not visible to the naked eye unless its a super clear lucky night as rumor has it...)
