Yes, the first one made me smile :)

I choose illustrated places.

I like the juggling balls, it would make a great animated cartoon.

A fun theme, we'll see so many different things! Mine are all dog related, and one even has a sausage like the first one here!

I too smiled at the first one. There's a vintage aura crossed with an almost surrealistic feel to the whole thing that I like a lot. . The juggler is also funny.
I don't have that many illustrated postcards, so I chose one that relates to something that means a lot to me, for "O Princepezinho" was the first book I remember my father giving me and I remember I was very fond of the illustrations (more than of the text, which I found strange at the time -I was probably 7 or 8 tears old - These are not Saint-Ex's own, but I'll take them as a nice hommage to a great man and a stupendous writer and illustrator.
