SPELUNKING (or Caving): BUT WHICH WAY IS UP?

Here is a Boring Postcard from the Grottes (caves)  d'Isturitz et d'Oxocolhaye located 12 km from Hasperen and 20 kms from Carribo in the French Basque region.

It is a 'Basque curtain'. I can't work out if the curtian is pulled or not, or even which way is up (or down), so here are 2 versions of it.

Leszno, school and gliding centre. Postcards from around 1975. City in western part of Poland, between Poznań (Posen) and Wrocław (Breslau). Leszno is the only city to have hosted the Gliding World Championships three times (1958, 1968, 2003). The open space on three sides of the 101-hectare grass airfield and the nearby extensive fields make gliding safe and comfortable.

"Your relatives will envy you for such a pretty sight."

"That's why I chose this postcard."

VEGETARIANS LOOK AWAY! BUT WHO SENT ME THIS? (Not Mrs Adams)

This is from Der Adamshurst Haus: "On US Route 14 near Ellisob Bay, Wisc. Catering to Tourists, business travellers and discriminating diners who want quality without lavish displays. Cozy cocktail loung featuring Danny 'on the ivories'. Open daily noon to midnight."

Those 'disciminating diners' obviously like enormous steaks (without (lavish displays' (of what?) of course

I especially like the boring road intersection.
