Patti has asked us to show History for this week’s challenge. I’ve just got to decide what to post…
Well, first up, I’ll show the balcony in Santiago de Cuba where Fidel Castro Ruz gave his Revolution speech in 1959 (it’s the one in the centre):
When we were in the Baltic, we saw the tin sarcophagus of a Pomeranian Duke ( to my shame I have forgotten where and what century):
Tin Sarcophagus of a Pomeranian Duke
When I visited Bletchley Park, there was a restored Enigma machine, and some interesting explanations of the complexity of the work involved in cracking the codes used by the German army in WW2
I have always been drawn to ruins from the past, initially thee castles of North Wales, and later the relics of the tin mines in Cornwall:
Wheal Coates, near St Agnes, mid 80s
And now let’s go into the distant past- to a prehistoric stone circle (this one in Sweden)
Stainabjar
So with these few examples, I hope I have demonstrated that history really is all around us, from recent history to ancient history….

Great selection for the challenge, Sue.
Viva Fidel! 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.
Hmm, not too sure about that, Pete….will history absolve him?
Just some fond memories of my ‘old days’, Sue. I have long given up debating the rights and wrongs. 🙂
Oh, OK!
Wonderful historical collection, Sue. I especially love Fidel’s balcony. 🙂 There’s a new book out on 2 cryptologists–The Code Breakers–during WWII. It’s on my Kindle but I haven’t started it yet. 🙂
Thanks, Patti, glad you enjoyed this post! Oh, and do enjoy the Code Breakers
It’s next in the line up!
Excellent!
Lovely choices, Sue! I really would have liked to see Fidel’s balcony – and I recognize Stainabjär!
You should know Steinabjär!
😉
And thanks for taking me there!
My pleasure, Sue!
😀😀
You nailed this one Sue, and definitely proved your point with your images! Didn’t realize they had the circled stones in Sweden!
Thanks, Tina – glad you like this
Really interesting examples Sue.
Oh, I could do more, Gilly!!
Great selections for this theme, Sue, From modern to ancient history!
That was the plan!
