Postcards from Magda

This week was started by talking about colorful houses in Alsace, France.
Let me end it today with colorful buildings from Poland, all cards from Magda.

Krakow is one of the oldest and well-preserved old cities in Poland.
It's listed as UNESCO World Historic Site. On a separate post from
the past, I have a postcard with an aerial view of its Main Market Square.
Magda, wrote: I took the photo of Krakow early morning when it 
was still quiet. A few hours later it became crowded and lively.

Gdansk Old Town kamienica are featured on this second card.
Kamienice are similar to the half-timbered houses in Alsace, France.
This is in the manner that they are also commercial buildings
on the first floor and residential on the second floor. 
These ones however are made of brick and stone.

Another beautiful old town in Poland is Torun. Its medieval part is listed
as a UNESCO heritage site in 1997. It is one of Poland's oldest cities,
together with Krakow. Torun is the birthplace of the famous Renaissance
mathematician and astronomer, Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543).

After France's colorful houses from Alsace and Poland's colorful buildings,
I'm curious now what similar colorful structures I can share from my collection.
I am yet to properly sort the many pretty cards I've received. 
For now, I'm sharing these colorful structures with Beth

  1. Ah, these are such wonderful postcards! I love Poland. A year ago, or so, my family discovered our great great grandparents came from that country. I've always had a soft spot for the people of Poland. I always will. It is so sweet to see these colorful pictures--it is no wonder my artwork has such bright colors! lol

    Have a lovely day, my dear. ((hugs)) You and your people are in our prayers still. You are loved, sweet girl.

    Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!
