Postcard Friendship Friday - Bridge of St. Roch


This beautiful bridge located in Poznan, Poland, spans over the Warta river and is named after a catholic saint: Bridge of St. Roch. It is located near St. Peter and Paul Cathedral, as you can see in the photo.

I've never made a secret of my passion for bridges. That is why I collect cards with this particular theme. This card, sent by mikis, hit the right spot with me. It is beautiful, with the twillight in the background. The bridge, with all those light, looks almost ephemeral. I truly loved it.

Poland is also one of my dream destinies: so much history and beauty. I hope I get to go there some day.

Castle Square


This beautiful card was sent by Sylwie, from Poland.

Warsaw is the capital of Poland. It is known as the "phoenix city" because it was completely destroyed during World War II and rebuilt with the heroic effort of polish citizen.

The card shows Castle Square, an important part of Warsaw's Old Town, inscribed in 1981 as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. In the square there are several polish landmarks, such as the Zygmunt's Column (left side of card) and the Royal Castle (right side of card) and the Patrican Houses.

I adore the colors in the card. It seems like a wonderful place to visit, especially for someone who adores History, like me.
