LESOTHO - The Highland
My first card from Lesotho, thank you Julius for the card.
"Lesotho, officially the Kingdom of Lesotho, is an enclaved landlocked country completely surrounded by South Africa. It is just over 30,000 km2 in size and has a population slightly over two million. Its capital and largest city is Maseru. Lesotho is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations. The name Lesotho translates roughly into the land of the people who speak Sesotho.
Lesotho is completely surrounded by South Africa, making it one of only four countries in the world that are enclaves within another country; the other three are San Marino and Vatican City, both located within Italy, and Principality of Monaco, located in France."

UNITED KINGDOM - Greeting from Royal London
"London makes it almost impossible for tourists to ignore British Royalty. After all, there are royal parks, royal monuments, and, of course, royal palaces.
Some palaces, such as Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace, are official royal residences, although certain areas are open to visitors. Others are former royal residences—these include the Tower of London and Hampton Court Palace—that have been conserved and maintained to show Britain's historic past."

NEW YORK - Brooklyn Bridge, NYC
"The Brooklyn Bridge is a hybrid cable-stayed/suspension bridge in New York City and is one of the oldest bridges of either type in the United States. Completed in 1883, it connects the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn by spanning the East River. It has a main span of 1,595.5 feet (486.3 m), and was the first steel-wire suspension bridge constructed. It was originally referred to as the New York and Brooklyn Bridge and as the East River Bridge, but it was later dubbed the Brooklyn Bridge, a name coming from an earlier January 25, 1867, letter to the editor of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle and formally so named by the city government in 1915. Since its opening, it has become an icon of New York City, and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1964 and a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark in 1972."
