Yea its monday, but I wasnt sure this week's sunday stamps will be happening - luckily it is, and I can post here today on the theme of water :)
The postcards show the picturesque Istrian town of Rovinj, and an example of Croatian naive art. Both have (sea) water as an important element in the picture, but the main thing here are the stamps; the first one is from a set of 7 issued in 1994, celebrating 150 years of tourism in Croatia. Its a wonderful set and I wish it could be used nowdays, alas all stamps issued in the previous millenium cannot be used for postage :( This particular stamp shows the Krka Waterfalls, one of Croatian national parks (which I usually have in my postcards offers heh :)). The second one is the Expo 2008 stamp, it was a single stamp as a mini-sheet and represents something simple but utterly beautiful - the clear blue sea :))
Next week we are free to represent any theme, and ah I am not at home! I'll try to have it ready wherever I am ;) And now, time to check the other entries..!
Nice fishing boats on the postcards, I can see why you would like the art on your wall. Nice to float along on the last stamp:-)
OdgovoriIzbrišiI think you win for the most unobstructed view of water on a stamp!
OdgovoriIzbrišiNice selection of Croatian-related water stamps :). In my view, Croatia has the most beautiful Sea in Europe therefore the fourth stamps is just brilliant: simple but obvious :).
OdgovoriIzbrišiThank you for being patient with me this week. Lovely stamps and postcards.
OdgovoriIzbrišiI adore the second card with its naive art style, and the stamp goes perfectly with it!
