Last month I've got some nice cards from this RR. These are from Taiwan, Poland, Germany and Scotland.
This space shuttle like building is the Solar Exploration Center in Shueishang Township, one of the three Tropic of Cancer Marker in Taiwan.
The Tropic of Cancer, which is also referred to as the Northern Tropic, is the most northerly circle of latitude on Earth at which the Sun can be directly overhead. This occurs on the June solstice, when the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun to its maximum extent. - in: wikipedia
The Tropic of Cancer passes through 17 countries.
Vicky used nice stamps to send the card, including a matching one.

I've been to Poland once and this beautiful country is again my list as one of my options for this year's holidays. The idea is to go to southern Poland again and this time I'd like to visit Wroclaw.
On this card sent by Kamilla, we get a nice view of the Cathedral Island, the oldest part of the city. The yellow building is the Archbishop′s palace and next to it there's the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist. What we see today is in fact the fourth church to be built on this site. When construction began in 1244, this was the first brick building in Poland. Cathedral-building being what it is, work continued for five more centuries. - in: https://www.inyourpocket.com/wroclaw/cathedral-of-st-john-the-baptist_93619v

I've said many time and I'll say it again, Dresden is one of the german cities on the top of my must visit list. Thanks Anne for this beautiful card.
Built in the 18th century, the Dresden Frauenkirche was destroyed in the bombing of Dresden during World War II. The remaining ruins were left for 50 years as a war memorial, following decisions of local East German leaders. The church was rebuilt after the reunification of Germany, starting in 1994. The reconstruction of its exterior was completed in 2004, and the interior in 2005.
The surrounding Neumarkt square with its many valuable baroque buildings was also reconstructed in 2004. - in: wikipedia

This is not a card from a place I'd like to visit, is a card from a place I've already been too. Sabine brought me back some nice memories with this card.
Robert the Bruce (11 July 1274 – 7 June 1329) was King of Scots from 1306 until his death in 1329. Robert was one of the most famous warriors of his generation, and eventually led Scotland during the First War of Scottish Independence against England. He fought successfully during his reign to regain Scotland's place as an independent country and is today revered in Scotland as a national hero. - in: wikipedia
This statue is located on Stirling Castle esplanade. In the background there's a monument to another national hero of Scotland. The National Wallace Monument commemorates Sir William Wallace.
