The snow-covered southern Polish city of Kraków is pictured in this image from the Kompsat-2 satellite.
The Vistula River snakes across the top of the image. The part of the river pictured flows from west to east as it winds northwards and empties into the Baltic Sea (not visible).
Kraków sits in a valley at the foot of the Carpathian Mountains and has a number of important nature reserves of great ecological value. Dubbed the European Capital of Culture in 2000, the city has an extensive cultural heritage across the epochs of Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque architecture, and is home to one of the oldest universities in the world: Jagellonian University.
Just north of the river at the centre-left portion of the image is the medieval Old Town or historic central district. The area is home to Europe’s largest market square, along with numerous historic houses, palaces and churches.
Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1978, the Old Town was the centre of Poland’s political life until King Sigismund III Vasa moved his court to Warsaw in the late 1500s.
This image was acquired on 5 February 2010 by the Korea Aerospace Research Institute’s Kompsat-2 satellite.

This photo was taken in Charleston, SC, and shows a window beautifully framed by lush ivy. Charleston is known for its well-preserved historic architecture, which reflects its rich history and cultural heritage. The buildings in Charleston often exhibit elements of Georgian, Federal, and Greek Revival styles, with a strong emphasis on symmetry, proportion, and decorative details.
The ivy-clad window in the photo brings to mind the city's antebellum homes, which frequently feature large windows with shutters, brick facades, and abundant greenery. The ivy adds charm and is a natural cooling system during Charleston's hot summers.
Charleston's architectural legacy dates back to the colonial era, with many buildings surviving the Civil War and hurricanes. The city's commitment to preservation has maintained its historic charm, making it a popular destination for history enthusiasts and architecture lovers.

My youngest beech trees which I grew from cuttings off their older relatives in the copse. At Christmas the copse has fairylight lanterns strung through all the trees, the Hobgoblin Pond also has extra statues, ornaments and lights for Christmas and the front elevation of the house is adorned with lanterns and typically Scandinavian decoration.

Launched in 1860, at a time of empire and Britain’s dominance in trade and industry, Warrior was the pride of Queen Victoria’s fleet.
Powered by steam and sail, she was the largest, fastest and most powerful warship of her day and had a lasting influence on naval architecture and design. Work and life on board reflected both the changes the Royal Navy experienced as it evolved into a professional service and shifts in Victorian society.
Built to counter the latest French battleship, Warrior was, in her time, the ultimate deterrent. Yet by igniting a new era in naval technology, she soon became outdated. After 22 years’ service, Warrior’s hull was to be used as a depot, floating school and an oil jetty.
Painstakingly restored in Hartlepool and back home in Portsmouth since 1987, Warrior is a unique survivor of the once formidable Victorian Black Battlefleet and now serves as a museum ship, visitor attraction, popular private hire venue and more.

Built in 1926-1933, this Classical Revival-style building was designed by Walker and Weeks to serve as a memorial to veterans and the war dead of World War I, as a bid by Indianapolis to attract the headquarters of the American Legion to the city. The structure was based on the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and anchors the Indiana World War Memorial Plaza, a large open-air public park in the middle of Downtown Indianapolis that was built according to City Beautiful principles, with the master plan having been completed by Walker and Weeks in 1923. The 210-foot (64 meter) tall building is clad in Indiana limestone with a two-tier massing, a rusticated stone base, a terrace at the top of the first tier with urns at the corners, large staircases up to the terraces and a stone balustrade around the exterior of the terrace, a stone base at the bottom of the second tier, bronze doors, decorative torchiere-style light fixtures, tall ionic colonnades on each face of the middle of the second tier of the structure with an architrave featuring reliefs and a cornice with dentils, statutes, above the colonnades, and a pyramidal hipped roof. The building is a contributing structure in the Indiana War Memorial Plaza Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989, and designated a National Historic Landmark District in 1994. The building today serves as a memorial to Indiana’s World War I dead, and houses a museum and auditorium.
