Hello Marianne,

Unfortunately I don't have a picture of the Palace, but I'll take one for you when I'm back to Warsaw. Tomorrow I'm leaving for Tenerife (and now I'm visiting my parents in Legnica, my hometown). Our plane departs from Wroclaw and Legnica is no more than 70 km from the city.
Frankly speaking I didn't know Prague has something similar to our Palace. An interesting thing is that the Palace is often referred to by an acronym which is PeKiN (derived from Pałac Kultury i Nauki) and Pekin means Beijing in Polish).

Best,
Adam

Hi Marianne
Thanks for the messages. I have uploaded another few pics that show different aspects of the place.
I was irritated at the time to be excluded from the waterfalls walk and it was only afterwards that I realised how lucky I had been. There are many places to see waterfalls but I may never see a Berber village again. Who knows.
Cheers, David

Marianne,
Please forgive me for not being better aquainted with this system. I found you while searching for Dutch pen pals.
My husband and I would like to travel to Holland this summer for a bicycle trip for about a week. We do not know anyone and would like a contact, about our age. Can you email and advise me
thanks

Thanks for your message marianne. I will upload soon more pictures of Zaragoza, and the Pilar party, where you can see a whole street with people from all over the country wearing traditional costumes of their region.

If you ever have the chance, do visit the city by that time.

Best wishes! Antonio

[My message was first sent to Italy and came back, my error! I think. Retrying, it told me this was spam so upload it here]

Most appreciated: you mentioning the name of the photographer within the first few words of any picture (for the 24-hour review) comment sothat he/she can identify it in the 24-hour review. How else do members know who has commented? Perhaps "# of comments" should be shown in lists :-)? I think that comments & guestbook-entries should NOT be written like letters, contact entries or like in emails and NOT support empty space "Dear XXX" or "Regards xxx" & all the spaces & empty lines between. Best for comments is paragraphs without addressing the person (neither ones self) on a separate line neither ? If you like, would you also consider writing just one SOLID paragraph for comments instead of the comment in a new line after the members name? Years from now when pictures may have as many as 100 comments this might be important & need to be an issue?

Hi Marianne,

Glad to see your comments under my photos. I guess I forgot to tell you that you reminded me of the Toy Museum in Prague. I just recollected I was there during my stay in Prague last year, when I saw your travel tip. I liked it very much and try to add some pictures from the museum to my gallery soon. And one more advantage of this museum - some of its windows have a perfect view of the Golden Lane. I managed to take some pictures from a perspective a bit different than the most popular one.

Best,
Adam

No unfortuntely I didn't see the cubs, but I did see three tigers - it was a perfect trip.

Marianne, funny, a professional photographer friend of mine suddenly visited me this evening and when he arrived, I was busy reading your reply. He saw your "Lapidarium 5" pic still on my computer screen and said "Wow! That is great! ". I showed him the even better new 1024 feature and he was then even more impressed, also with GLOBO improvements!
He insisted I tell you this :-)
