I was drawn to this particular postcard because of the location of the photo. This card evokes certain memories for me because when I was a child, my family and I took countless road trips through the Blue Ridge Mountains all throughout the state of North Carolina. I found it very interesting that this card is from the city of Asheville, where i have visited multiple times -- this gives me a personal connection to the Postcard. I vividly remember the winding roads with extraordinary views of mountain ranges in the distance. A picture like this, makes it easy to remember the smells and the feeling of the air in those mountains. The postcard also intrigued me because I was curious as to why those people were stopped outside of there vehicle. Maybe their car broke down? Possibly they stopped to get a view of the scenery? The possibilities are endless. I love being able to look at a postcard like this, and imagine all of the different things that could be happening in the picture. If only there was writing on the opposite side, to maybe provide some insight to the mystery of this blank postcard.
