Postcard Weekly Challenge 2012

I am late with my entry for Week 15 at the Postcard challenge 2012, which is to visit ICELAND. I hardly knew a thing about Iceland, but thanks to Darcy, our sole tourist guide, I am amazed at what I have learnt. As an example I even have understood an item in the news this week. The British Government are to have talks with the Icelandic PM regarding the diversion of created electricity from the geothermal geysers and volcanoes. It is said that Iceland could create enough electricity to power all of Europe. To find more interesting facts of Iceland I recommend you popping over to here.  The Icelandic people are also very proud of their history and heritage, including the Vikings. The National flag is not allowed to be worn on clothing or for advertising.


Hermione's card to her parents tells of how she had 10 house points deducted because she sent out of the school a video of school activities. Well, I think we all knew she would be in trouble for that. She is beginning to get really curious as to why her parents are Muggles and she is what she is - a witch. Ssshhh!!!

  5. Great postcard and WOW, Iceland could power the whole of Europe?! I hadn't heard about that, nor that their flag is not allowed to be worn on clothing or advertising, so thank you :o)

  6. Super postcard, harnessing natural power for electricity sounds like the way to go to me.
