"GENERAL VIEW" OF ANTIBES, FRANCE

It seems to me that it's a "General View" (nb only a 3-star General) of a boring plant with a little bit of out-of-focus Antibes in the background.

Still unpacking from the move to Athens...

'guess who found a box of old postcards from "Aunt Min and Uncle Bill"?

Hotel and motel postcards in the USA were "free" in the rooms it seems :-)

More boring postcards on their way to Sigean soon.

Legnica Region - a unit of the administrative division of Poland, one of 49 voivodeships existing in the years 1975-1998, with the seat of the Region Governor and the Local Government Assembly in Legnica. The Legnica Voivodeship was located in south-western Poland, between the middle course of the Oder River and the Sudetes, in the area of Lower Silesia. The unit was established on 1 June 1975 as a result of a reform that replaced the three-tier administrative division of the country with a two-tier division. Postcard sent in 1979.
