And this one is a card from Poland
, send by Bodexs, who has send me some nice UNESCO cards before. It shows one of the Wooden Churches of Southern Little Poland.
The wooden churches of southern Little Poland represent outstanding examples of the different aspects of medieval church-building traditions in Roman Catholic culture. Built using the horizontal log technique, common in eastern and northern Europe since the Middle Ages, these churches were sponsored by noble families and became status symbols. They offered an alternative to the stone structures erected in urban centres.
I bought some UNESCO cards so I decided to tag again in the different unesco tags. I tagged Bessie from Finland
. She send me this nice card which shows the Petäjävesi Old Church.
Petäjävesi Old Church, in central Finland, was built of logs between 1763 and 1765. This Lutheran country church is a typical example of an architectural tradition that is unique to eastern Scandinavia. It combines the Renaissance conception of a centrally planned church with older forms deriving from Gothic groin vaults.
This is a very unusual card from USA
. It is shaped like a T-shirt. Nice to receive such an original card! It has traveled a distance of 7,516 km in 7 days. It shows us Florida, the sunshine state :) And it is the 25th card from this country!!!
I realised that I have never receive any official card from the Belarus
while I have to send them very often in the last week to this country. This one is end by Lunushka and show us the Belovezhskaya Pushcha. A UNESCO site which is situated in Poland as well. I have the Polish part already in my collection.
Situated on the watershed of the Baltic Sea and the Black Sea, this immense forest range, consisting of evergreens and broad-leaved trees, is home to some remarkable animal life, including rare mammals such as the wolf, the lynx and the otter, as well as some 300 European Bison, a species which has been reintroduced into the park.
