Q is for Queen's Islet Palace, Sweden

While researching for my Sweden trip, I was treated to a pleasant surprise at the Visit Sweden website. The photos on the page could be sent over as an e-postcard! Kudos to technology, even postcard delivery now has been automated. So I tried and sent myself one.

 For letter "Q" --

According to Uncle Wiki, "Drottningholm" in the name Drottningholm Palace literally means "Queen's Islet". The palace is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. I am hoping for nice weather this coming weekend so I could take at least a nice view of this palace from Gamla Stan. It would be a bit far from me if I travel all the way to Lovon where it is located. So a panoramic view from a nearby island would be enough I think. :)

    Hi Maria - well done on the e-postcard .. with postal services in South Africa and Australia (the ones I know about) being up the shute ... the e-way seems a great idea .. and you sent yourself one.

    Love the Queen's Islet Palace and hope the weather holds for our view from afar next weekend .. cheers Hilary

    That reflection is amazing. I've never been to Sweden - Denmark is the nearest I've got.

    Wow, that is so very beautiful. Sweden is one of my loveliest memorable country, and was able to heal a past life experience!
