Be Careful Out There

I received this postcard of the Matterhorn in a thunder storm from Claudia in Germany. It is the first in a series of weekly postcards. I’m not sure how it will evolve yet but this sure is a great image to start with and it looks like a postcard that had a long journey. I know how to take a picture of lightning with an iPhone.

Credit to Postcrossing for making this possible.

A whistle

“As clean as a whistle?”

The phrase originated in the early 1900’s and is probably derived from an earlier expression: “As clear as a whistle.” Which referred to the clarity of a whistling sound and how far the high pitched noise would travel.
