Sunday Stamps is today dedicated to my favourite theme on stamps: Lighthouses.

Campen Lighthouse is an active lighthouse in the village of Campen, by the Ems estuary, in the East Frisia region, state of Lower Saxony, Germany. At a height of 65 m, it is the tallest lighthouse in Germany. The lighthouse was built in 1889 and went in service two years later. The stampwas issued in 2019.

The Stavoren Lighthouse is a lighthouse near Stavoren on the IJsselmeer, in the Netherlands. It was built in 1885, and restored in 2001. These are personalized stamps from 2016.

And this is the Lightship 12 Noord Hinder, currently a museum ship located in the harbour of Hellevoetsluis.
Attractive German stamp, I always like a map
ReplyDeleteThe first stamp is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThe German stamp is my favourite style of lighthouse stamp - map, and architectural drawing included with the lighthouse itself.
ReplyDeleteI must say that the German stamp is a very favourite in my not-so-small collection of lighthouses on stamps!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree, stamps showing lighthouses and maps are so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, the lighthouse on bottom is the 'Lichtschip Noord Hinder', see https://www.noordhinder.nl/en (on that website there's a map in the background, too :-) )
Thanks, I added the information. I have visited a couple of lightships in the past. They are stunning!
