Almost Favs from Belarus

I've been lazy, i know but sometimes i just feel like doing nothing, nothing at all ;)
I doing feel like doing much today either but i thought it was about time to post some new cards. For now i've these 2 from Belarus. The 1st was in my favorites and i've received it twice. Natalia "happybobo" tagged on the 2 favorites tag and because no one tagged me in the next 48 or 72 hours after my post, if someone wanted to tag me it should send 1 card from my favs and 1 from my wishlist or 2 from my wishlist. So, Natalia send me 1 favorite and another card but she didn't tell me which cards she was going to send. Sent send these 2 cards and a few days later Vera "Vakhnyuk" tagged me in another fav tag with the Kamianiec Tower.

 The Tower of Kamianiec is the main landmark of the town of Kamianiec in Belarus. Erected in 1271–1289 by the architect Oleksa as a frontier stronghold on the northern border of the principality of Volhynia, it is the only such tower remaining to this day in the area.
Standing atop a gentle rise overlooking the Liasnaja river, the tower is the main landmark of Kamianiec today. The first record in the chronicles about the foundation of the tower dates from 1276. It was erected in the 1270s. Today it is a national historic site. Since 1960 the tower houses a branch of the Brest regional museum. Once similar towers were built in Brest (Bierascie), Hrodna, Turaŭ, Navahradak, but they were destroyed in the course of wars. The tower of Kamianiec is the only one that survived in Belarus until the present. - in: wikipedia
