Situated on the Gulf of Botnia, Rauma is one of the oldest harbours in Finland. Built around a Franciscan monastery, where the mid-15th-century Holy Cross Church still stands, it is an outstanding example of an old Nordic city constructed in wood. Although ravaged by fire in the late 17th century, it has preserved its ancient vernacular architectural heritage.
When I turned the postcard around and saw this stamp I believe I have made some weird sound showing just how happy I am :) I LOVE autumn colours. This stamp represents apple harvest and was issued in 2013 in a set of 5 titled Signs Of Autumn. I have found a pic of the whole sheet of FDC on ebay, me wanti! Kiitos Elina :)
Theme this week on Viridian's Sunday Stamps is country life/harvest/autumn :)
This stamps are wonderful. Me too, love autumn colours. I think this very one is the best in the set!
OdgovoriIzbrišiOh yes that is a very desirable FDC, The apple harvest one you received is beautiful and goes so well with the postcard.
OdgovoriIzbrišiI think I made a little squealing sound when I got my stamp, too :)
OdgovoriIzbrišiBeautiful. Apple Day is 21 October in the UK so this is a very appropriate stamp.
OdgovoriIzbrišiBeautiful stamp. It's too bad that it doesn't fit well vertically on a postcard.
