I agree with Gail that this trope is marvelous...
......................................the water,
the closest thing to everywhere there is,
...although after that peak moment I feel the rest of the sonnet kind of pales. There is a mundane quality here that I long to feel transcended. But the overall structure of the postcard theme is well-handled nevertheless. And I do enjoy the slant rhymes.
I'd say it's a solid sonnet, but not a brilliant one.
