The Trosky castle was built in the 14th century on two basalt rocks named Panna (Virgin) and Baba (Hag) §. The Czech word ‘Trosky’ means ‘ruins’ and describes well the castle’s conditions after all those centuries… The castle ruin became a landmark of the National Preserve ‘Cesky raj’ (Czech Paradise, or Bohemian Paradise), which was declared a UNESCO Geopark in 2005. So many times have I admired the beautiful silhouette of Trosky at dusk, travelling along it very often when we lived in Berlin, Germany, and went to visit our parents in the Czech Republic for a weekend! This is my country… [§ Would you assign the right names to the rocks?] February 2002. Canon EOS 500N, Sigma 28-135. Post-processing: retouch, blend modes, watercolor. Also available as a T-Shirt: /

Historic Chapel located in the historic village of Panna Maria, Texas, the oldest permanent Polish settlement in the USA. Camera data / Canon EOS Rebel XTi / F/stop f/4 / Exposure 1/500 / ISO 100 / Focus 28mm HDR info / tripod, three exposures +2 to -2, Photomatrix Texas Historic Marker Data / Oldest Permanent Polish Colony in America / Panna Maria / Year Marker Erected: 1966 / Location: FM 81, Main Street, Panna Maria Marker Text: / Settled by 100 Polish families who came to Texas to gain economic, political and religious freedom. Led by Father Leopold Moczygemba, O.F.M., Conv., they made a contract in 1854 with John Twohig, a San Antonio banker and merchant, for land at this site. The colonists, natives of Upper Silesia and Krakow, landed at Galveston after a hard voyage of nine weeks on a sailing ship. They hired Mexican carts to haul their farm implements, featherbeds, and the cross from their parish church in Poland. The 800 men, women, and children walked—some in boots, others barefoot—the 200 miles inland to their new home. Babies were born on the way, and some of the people died. All suffered from hunger and exposure. On Dec. 24, 1854, they reached this site. They named it Panna Maria (Virgin Mary), placing it under the patronage of the Immaculate Conception. Beneath a large oak they offered their first Midnight Mass of Thanksgiving and petition for strength and courage. They camped out until they could put up huts of mud, straw or wood, later building in stone. In spite of hardships, they founded a stable community, aided in settling other frontiers, pioneered in education, and gave Texas many patriotic, dedicated citizens.
