Niagara Falls, Maid of the Mist (USA)
Collecting Maid of the Mist postcards? Watch the boat change over time. And not just the boat! The caption on this unused card says its “voyagers are swathed in oilskins as a defence from the saturating spray” but when we did this trip, we got throwaway clear plastic raincoats. Grade: 1

Fort William (ON), Kakabeka Falls (Canada)
On the front, a normal and very old scenic postcard. On the reverse, not postally used but the message area is taken up with a pre-printed advertisement for a men’s tailor, who “certainly have the good goods”. A child’s name is lightly pencilled into the address area. As for the photo, “Kakabeka Falls is a waterfall on the Kaministiquia River, located beside the village of Kakabeka Falls in the municipality of Oliver Paipoonge, Ontario, 30 km west of the city of Thunder Bay.” That’s from Wikipedia. Grade: 3

Historical Remains of Kaesong (set of 26) (DPR Korea)
If you’ve been wanting a set of DPRK cards, may as well go for a BIG set. These 26, in a loose coloured cover (bottom right of scan), are nearly unique in having western lettering along with Korean on the fronts of the cards. We show three of the 26 in the scan, though the captions are hard to make out. These are buildings, statues, natural features, a mausoleum, Jokjosa Soibucho, all sorts of things, and at a cost much lower than most of our individual DPRK cards. If you’d like more details, please ask. Grades: 1
-
Mt. Kumgang, Kuryong Falls (DPR Korea)

Old, aging, unused card from Direccion General de Turismo. Edge abrasions. Grade: 3
-
Barragem de Cambamba (Angola)
Elmar card, not postally used, with messages all over the reverse. Actually this is a dam and not a waterfall, but due to the spillover that’s what the card looks like. We have two of these. Grades: 4
-
Malange, Quedas de Kalandula (Angola)
Wikipedia advises that “Kalandula Falls are waterfalls in the municipality of Kalandula, Malanje Province, Angola. On the Lucala River, the falls are 105 meters high and 400 meters wide. They are one of the largest waterfalls by volume in Africa.” You might have known this already, but we’re always learning. Elmar card, not postally used, with some short identifying information written on the back. Grade: 3
-
(Kalandula) Falls (Angola)
We put the header in brackets because the old ELMAR postcard is not captioned, but this is what those Falls are, one of the largest waterfalls by volume in Africa. Some short writing in the address area. Grade: 3-
