This card here adds to my USA states card collection. From the city of Sault Ste. Marie in Michigan, this card shows the Soo Locks, which transports boats from Lake Superior to the Great Lakes. This is necessary because the St. Mary Rapids, which connects the two lakes together, falls about 21 feet from Lake Superior to the lower lakes. The lock thus facilitates the movement of boats by acting as an elevator between the two lakes! That sounds really cool and I wish I could take a look one day!
Just a little documentation on my perspectives of the world through postcard travel! :D

Wisconsin, USA
A beautiful sunrise/sunset view of a lake in Northwoods, Wisconsin. This region of expansive boreal forests, wilderness rivers and thousands of glacial lakes provides a great getaway destination. Recreation activities that can be carried out there includes fishing, boating, skiing, biking, hiking... Wow, seems an endless list! How I wish there were more outdoor spaces for such activities in Singapore! Unfortunately due to land constraints on our tiny island, we don't have such wonderful spaces for such outdoor activities...
