Royal Castle in Warsaw, Poland (August 2021)

I took this photo simply because the building looked nice. I didn’t realize until I processed the photo that this is the Royal Castle. The Nazis destroyed the building in WWII. This version was reconstructed in the 1970s and early 80s in its original 17th Century style.

Dunkeld Cathedral and a Monkey Puzzle Tree (Scotland, July 2021)

I should have done more research before my tour in the Scottish Highlands. Had I done so, I would have made a mad dash for this place when we had a half-hour break on our way to Loch Ness and the Isle of Skye. Instead, I got some food and ate it in a park near the bus. Cool town, but I feel like I didn’t even scratch the surface of its history–including the 1689 Battle of Dunkeld that was fought around the cathedral between the Jacobite Highland clans and the British government. Maybe the tour guide described all of this, but on day one of the tour, I could only understand a fraction of what he said.
