Gatekeeper Postcards

Instead of a shareware fee, Gatekeeper users send picture postcards from their home towns (or wherever they happen to be at the time) in exchange for Gatekeeper. Over the years, approximately 664 people from all over the world have taken the time to do so; here's a small and somewhat random sampling of those cards for your enjoyment.

Please don't feel slighted if your postcard doesn't appear here; most of them don't and won't, unless I suddenly get convenient access to a scanner and free-up a lot more disk space.

Scan quality is as good as I could manage, but I'm no pro at this. On my local machine, a number of the scans look too dark, but they look fine on other machines. Hopefully they'll look good on yours.
