Beautiful vintage stamps. The Greek stamp is really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteMonasteries built into a mountain are a fascinating curiosity - I have so many questions! The border design on the Pakistan stamp probably has more symbolism than I understand, but it is beautiful just to look at (as well as the mountain view)
ReplyDeleteSo much detail in the Greek stamp, its a beauty. I'd never heard of Mount Mayon until now, love the symmetry of the two mountains.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised not to find a Fuji stamp among those we share today!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love Mount Fuji, so iconic on stamps.
