Calgary Stampede, Canada

I am not all too much into multiview postcards unless they are UNESCO or so beautifully done like this one, showing various images of the Calgary Stampede! It is also known as the "Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth" and is actually a combination of Rhodeo, Festival and Exhibition which attracts over 1 million people every year in August. One of Calgary's main attractions. The card was sent by Coleen Bryant for the WiP "I spy a Flag" Swap.

Bad Kissingen, Germany

I received this card from my uncle and aunt, Gerhard and Otti Meid. They sent it from their trip to Bad Kissingen, a spa town in Frankonia.

Beguinage of Diest, Belgium (UNESCO)

This great postcard came from Gerda for the WiP November General Swap. It shows the Belgium UNESCO World Heritage Site The Beguinage of Diest. The Béguines were a Roman Catholic Sisterhood in the 13th and 14th centuries, consisting of women who devoted their life to prayer and good works but did not take any vows. Thus they were not nuns and could return to a worldly life whenever they chose to do so.

Marrakech (UNESCO)

This great postcard of Marrakech I found during our stay in Morocco for the cruise. I just love how the mountains are snowcapped while in the foreground there are palm trees that seem to grow right out of the massive city wall. The top image shows the market in the Medina of Marrakech

Smolnik Church, Poland

Smolnik Church is on the UNESCO tentative list and will hopefully be added to the Heritage Site List soon. It was sent by Wanda for the WiP November Lottery.

From UNESCO Tentative List:

Smolnik

St. Michael the Archangel Tserkva

Poland / Podkarpackie Province

Greek Catholic tserkva from 1791 (presently a Roman Catholic church), located in a deserted village; refurbished in 1921 (the roof slopes were covered with metal sheets); the tserkva, deserted after 1951, was renovated in 1969, which brought it back to its original form; horizontal log construction; three-section, with a northern pastophorium, with a belting on the decorated overhangs. Over the sanctuary and the nave hipped domes with curves (the nave dome with a cross tie); the women's porch covered by a barrel vault. Over the sanctuary, nave and women's porch hipped roofs with a tie, topped with chambers. Inside, the musicians' choir is situated along the western wall. The nave is higher than the other sections; eaves on one level. An icon of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary from 1748 preserved from the original interior decoration. In the upper part of the iconostasis wall a figural polychrome decoration (figures of Old Testament prophets) from the end of the 18th century, renovated in 1923 by Eliasz Decuk from Sanok. The Smolnik tserkva is one of the few preserved three-section Boyko dome tserkvas.

Moroccan Beauty

I found this beautiful card of a Moroccan woman in a very small store in Taroudant. We visited the Soukhs there during our cruise.
