Today's theme in Sunday Stamps-II is Orange and/or Yellow. This is my second entry today. Because I had already scheduled the oranges when I received this beauty:
It features the Magere Brug ('Skinny Bridge') over the river Amstel in the city centre of Amsterdam. This stamp was issued on 26 March 2012, and was presented by the Netherlands for the theme Visit... of Europa Stamps.
It arrived on the back of this matching postcard, sent by Heleen (the Netherlands). She had sent me two more postcards of this special bridge. I think I had never uploaded them.

Made me think that the canals in Amsterdam under a golden sunset must be quite a sight.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to be in front of that view.
DeleteFantastic stamp choice, and quite different from your more organic orange entry.
ReplyDeleteActually, I forgot that I had already written the organic post... Anyway, this stamp deserved a post!
DeleteI have spent many happy hours in Amsterdam and am familiar with that bridge - but lately I only pass through the airport.
ReplyDeleteI've never been there, but I'd like to!
DeleteHow cool to have a matching postcard and stamp! I really find it extra thoughtful of the sender. Thanks for sharing these Eva.
ReplyDeleteHeleen always sent me very special mail :D
DeleteI love bridges. I don't know if it was in the list, but that could be a good theme for "Postcards for the weekend", couldn't it?
Love bridges, too (as you know :-) )
ReplyDeleteI know :DD
