Lubniewice (German: Königswalde) - a small town on the border between Poland and Germany, in the lake district, in an area with a lot of woodland; it is located in a narrow strip between two lakes Lubiąż and Krajnik. Numerous leisure and active recreation centres have sprung up in the town due to its excellent recreational and touristic qualities. Postcard sent in 1970.

06.07.22 Dare Mister Valentine Mark Herman, ...such a bizarre circumstantial  oddity.   But no relation---my background is English (New England  & even the  Salem Witch Trials --both sides if the issue---it of course, was all about "property") & on the other side: Nawf Karolinah tobacco farmers near Winston-Salem ( i.e. "Camel" cigarettes).

INTRODUCING....THE SCHLITTEUR

A schlitteur is a man who transports wood on a schlitte which is a kind of sledge. This schlitte seems to move over logs on the ground.

Why is our Mr Schlitteur looking so misrerable? Because he is tired of waiting for it to snow in the Vosges, France, so he can schlitte more easily? Becaue he is tired of schlitting? Because....?

Any which way it makes for a Boring Postcard.
