Warszawa- Polish capital

All my life I've been hearing that Warsaw sucks... Finally I went there and guess what? Warsaw is quite interesting :) I was there in May when all the tulips were blooming and everything looked beautiful. The city center was totally destroyed during the II WW and rebuilted and as far as I remember it's on UNESCO WTS - I don't feel like checking it right now. The only things that I didn't like there was the Main Square-not really renovated, small and empty which comparing with my hometown Main Square is really disappointing. The other thing was lack of rivers... Of course there is Wisła flowing through the city but it's not really that noticable like Odra in Wrocław. Except for that I liked the city :D 

And the card was sent by my friend who moved there few years ago ;)

Turkish ornaments

I'm not very sure where that ornament comes from but it doesnt matter- it's lovely! It's actually a birthday card for me that came from Turkey :) 

Agusiowy Lublin

I've recieved that postcard ages ago from my dear friend who actually made me join postcrossing. I really like it- I like postcards showing architecture details- like the street latern here. Scanner cut the white frame on one side- not sure why... Lublin is a lively city in the South-East of Poland. It is situated in The Lublin Upland, which stretches from the East of The Vistula & San Rivers, up to the Ukrainian Border.The Old Town is small & compact & easy to maneuver. Now it fills with cafes & restaurants.


The Trynitarska Tower which houses the Archiepiscopal Museum of Sacral Art, offers a splendid panorama of the Old Town, Castle Hill, City Centre and city outskirts. I'd love to visit the city :)

Tallin

Once upon a time, from 1549 to 1625 to be exact, this 13th-century church was the tallest building in the world. But its gigantic, 159-metre spire, which was probably meant to act as a signpost for approaching ships, also turned out to be a very effective lightning rod. Throughout the church's history its steeple has been hit repeatedly by lightning, completely burning down the structure three times.
Nowadays its smaller, 124-metre steeple still dwarfs most of Tallinn’s buildings and remains an important symbol of the town. From April to October, visitors can make the vigorous climb to the top of the stone portion of the tower for magnificent and dizzying views of Old Town, Toompea hill and the port.
The church itself dates back to at least 1267 when it is thought to have served a group of Scandinavian merchants who settled in the area. Various legends insist the church got its name from either the giant or the mysterious stranger who built it, however it was in fact dedicated to King Olaf II of Norway.
Its current shape and size were set in the 16th century. Inside are high, vaulted naves and a historicist interior design that dates to after the 1830 fire.

All of the above was taken from here as it's really nicely written ;) Card arrived from a friend who was there for holidays. He was really impressed and he said that Tallin is a city that I really should see :) Hopefully one day it will be possible.
