BORING POSTCARDS

Monument - tank. In Czarnków, as many as three hundred Soviet soldiers who fought for the Czarnków area were laid to rest in Freedom Square. In the middle of the square, a monument - a T-34 tank - was erected to commemorate those events. In 1945, three hundred Soviet soldiers who fell in the fight to liberate the land of Czarnków were buried in the square. In 1945, it was not in the best of shape. Earlier, it had been shot at by a German cannon, while its commander was killed. The Soviet tank-monument from Czarnków has been gone since Thursday, 17 March 2006. A tank that has become a symbol of the city. "This is history, it is worth witnessing it," - they said. Punctually at 9 a.m., the dismantling of the tank began. Its lifting and setting up on a trailer took more than an hour. The only thing that fell off was the old tracks, which had been sealed with concrete. The monument stood for more than 60 years - its erection was decided by the Soviet commander of the city in March 1945. The tank was to commemorate the soldiers who were buried here, among others. Postcard send in 1975.

I SET OUT 5 'STANDARD QUESTIONS' WHEN I STARTED THIS GROUP:

* first, why did someone want to make a postcard of this particular boring subject?

* second, why did some printer and some seller think they could make money from this Boring Postcard?

* third, why did anyone buy this Boring Postcard? Was it a deliberate choice, or were there no other more interesting postcards available?

* fourth, in choosing and sending this Boring Postcard, what message did the sender mean to convey?

* fifth, what on earth did the recipient of this Boring Postcard make of it?

THINK ABOUT THEM WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS 'CLASSIC' BORING POSTCARD!

Ełk (German: Lyck ) - a city in north-eastern Poland, in the  Masuria Region (earlier Ostpreussen). The largest and most populous city in Masuria and the main industrial and cultural centre in the region. The postcard was sent in 1969 and shows views of different parts of the city.

Dare Mr Canard, look at the 'Interesting Postcards' part of this. I thought it might encourage discussions about weirdness and other not-necessarily-boring things. It didn't; the last psot on it was 2 years and one day ago. It didn't work. And that's weird too.

Yeah, "from Heleen--Bedankt "(I don't know if its's boring, but it's certainly weird" comment by Val M.H.) ----that's  sorta my habitual reaction to the things posted at "Boring Postcards"---- I don't know what to think or how to react.
