Travel and see new places is to nurture memories and reminiscences.
When I visited Poland in the late 70s, I was a young man in love with Polish posters and bought several of them in public fairs in Poznan and Warsaw. I was delighted to see that were accessible to my eyes, hands and pocket.
The Christ the King Statue in Świebodzin, Poland, and Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro, invite with open arms both faithful and tourists. These are postcards of giant formats that resemble and compete in their Majesties, sizes, weights and wingspans. Symbols of the two countries, contact points in the foreigners tourist imagination, both are invited to visit their countries of origin.
