Krakow, Poland

Well, due to the latest events, another kind of a commemorative post.

This time dedicated to the recent plane crash where the Polish President Lech Kaczyński, his wife Maria, and 94 other people, lost their lives....on the ironic side, the most important were on that plane...there were no survivors. The criticism stays of why so many important people were allowed on the same plane..as well as the potential conspiracy issues....funny thing is, i usually go with the latter...i dont know...thats just me...and after reading a LOT about conspiracy issues in just every day life and brain washing of all kind, i just dont find it impossible at all...but eventually, when you lose so many lives, it doesnt matter what the reasons where....coz you have the terrible outcomes you cant mend.
This in a great deal reminded me of 2004 when we lost our President in a plane-crash in 2004....even the image of the place of the accident looked so familiar.... so unfortunately i do have the idea how the Polish nation felt with all this...and just want to express my condolences to those i havent yet.

well, there is a stamp on the card too...so it is worth the mentioning....even though you are not unfamiliar with it...it was issued in 2001 in a set of 2 stamps representing Farms

Krakow, Poland

Krakow, Poland

This is a card sent to me by a former and present pen-pal, Nicole from the Netherlands....she is my present pal thanks to HER and to her willingness to look for me and find me :)

This is a card from one of her trips to Krakow in Poland....sent in the now distant 1994!
If it wasn't for this blog and all this collection I'm doing, i wouldn't have known that actually this is a UNESCO card i owe, representing the Historic center of Krakow.

The historic center of Krakow, the former capital of Poland, is situated at the foot of the Royal Wawel Castle. The 13th-century merchants' town has Europe's largest market square and numerous historical houses, palaces and churches with their magnificent interiors. Further evidence of the town's fascinating history is provided by the remnants of the 14th-century fortifications and the medieval site of Kazimierz with its ancient synagogues in the southern part of town, Jagellonian University and the Gothic cathedral where the kings of Poland were buried.
