Województwo Częstochowskie - Częstochowa region - postcard form the mid. 1960.

A peculiar phenomenon on a global scale are foot pilgrimages with which even over 200,000 pilgrims come. The longest routes are over 600 kilometers long, and it takes up to 20 days to cover them.

Sztum (German: Stuhm) - a city in northern Poland. The most attractive monument in Sztum is the 14th-century Teutonic castle, the seat of the Teutonic mayor and the summer residence of the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order. From the original design, the southern range, the entrance and prison towers with the defensive walls have remained. The remaining buildings on the castle hill come from the 19th century.

A housing estate is shown on a postcard from 1978.

FOUR  BORING POSTCARDS FROM JEAN-PHILIPPE GILLIOT: thanks J-P!

1. Greetings from Westende, Belgium

A strange one. The left-hand photo features an empty baby-carriage thing (but no baby), a fat lady in a white dress, and a man taking a leak on a red lamp post. The other photo appears to be a beach scene, but there is no beach, and the sandy area is dominated by a large building. And then there is a green car on a pole (originally, it was at beach level, but a man came along, took a leak on it, and, like Topsy, it grew).

2. Hotel Savoy, Madeira

"My home away from home", it says on the back: discuss. Also rather strange, because you can't actually see the hotel, just a pool-side changing room. And that waiter seems to be rather too attentive -- but perhaps that's why she has come away from her home.

3. A stately drawing room in a Belgian castle

A publicity card for the Belgian magazine La Maison d'Hier & d'Aujourdhui. Yesterday for sure

4. A Belgian Castle

From the same magazine; Today, for sure.
