Maków Podhalański - 

The commune is situated in the Beskid Makowski and its southern part includes also a fragment of the Beskid Żywiecki. Particular villages are situated along the Skawa river and its tributaries. The railway line Cracow - Zakopane and the national road Wadowice - Nowy Sącz cross the area of the commune. There was an embroidery school in Maków from the end of the 19th century and the so-called Maków embroidery was and is widely known not only in Poland. Healthy, healing microclimate, whose properties were noticed already at the beginning of the last century. Postcard from 1976, Kolejowa street (Train street).

A WEIRD LOCATION FOR A MUSEUM?

This is  'Le Musée' (altitude 1008m) at le Donon, Bas-Rhin, France. If this is the main path to the Museul, I bet they don't get many visitors and certainly no wheelchair or handicapped ones.

STRANGE BORING POSTCARDS WITH VERY FEW PEOPLE ON THEM

1. L'Etang [lake] de Sassegnies, Berlaimont, France

2. Fugerei, Augsburg, Germany

3. Le pont sur la Sal, Le Bono, France

This shows Bono of U2 emerging from the river (bottom left). Or maybe it's Sonny Bono of Sonny and Cher. Get it? If so 'I got you babe'. If not, .....well never mind

HOWEVER MUCH I PLAY AROUND WITH THIS POSTCARD

...it still comes out as a lot of whiteness with a few black dots.

It's a postcard of the pistes at Larche in the French Alps ("altitude between 1700 & 2000m")

(also Dutch bird lovers find French seagull postcards interesting. All seagull cards can be sent to me)

IF YOU'RE A FRENCH SEAGULL YOU WILL PROBABLY FIND THIS POSTCARD INTERESTING, BUT IF YOU'RE NOT A FRENCH SEAGULL YOU PROBABLY WON'T FIND IT INTERESTING

Thanks Edvard. I've just got hold of a book called 'Brutal Bloc: Soviet era postcards from the eastern bloc' which has many good examples of propaganda postcards, with an emphasis on architecture. Regards, Val
