 Randy Travis (born 1959) is an American country and gospel music singer and songwriter. He has recorded more than 20 studio albums and charted more than 50 singles on Billboard's Hot Country Songs charts, including 16 that reached the number-one position. Travis's commercial success began in the mid-1980s with the release of his album Storms of Life, which was certified triple-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. His major songs include "On the Other Hand", "Forever and Ever, Amen", "I Told You So", "Hard Rock Bottom of Your Heart", and "Three Wooden Crosses". Travis is noted as a key figure in the neotraditional country movement, a return to more traditional sounds within the genre following the country pop crossovers of the early 1980s. Since surviving a near-fatal stroke in 2013, which severely limited his singing and speaking ability, he has released archival recordings and made limited public appearances. (Full article...) .jpg) Castle Square is a historic square in Warsaw, Poland, that serves as the gateway to Warsaw's Old Town. The square features the Royal Castle and Sigismund's Column, and is surrounded by historic townhouses. It forms the starting point of the Royal Route. The Old Town, including Castle Square, suffered extensive damage during World War II and was reconstructed in the postwar period. In 1980, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) inscribed the Historic Centre of Warsaw on the list of World Heritage Sites as an example of the near-total reconstruction of a historic town centre. This photograph shows an elevated view of Castle Square in 2024, as seen from the tower of St. Anne's Church, facing roughly northwards. Sigismund's Column can be seen in the foreground on the left, and the Royal Castle is the building on the right of the image. A part of the facade and roof of St. John's Archcathedral is visible in the background.
