Copernicus
Hi all,
My son (in grade 2) is putting together a project on Poland at the moment, so I've been looking back over some photos from a trip back in 2004 and I came across these. I thought they might be of interest to some here.
These are all from the city of Torun. The first is the house were Nicholas Copernicus was born in 1477. The second is an epitaph commemorating Copernicus from a cathedral in Torun, and the third is a statue in the main square.
I'd like to visit the site of Copernicus' observatory in Frombork (on the Baltic coast) as well - perhaps next trip. (My wife still has relatives in Poland, so I'm sure we'll return again in the future.)
Cheers,
Stephen
