You can go to Sunday Stamps to enjoy more Lighthouses. And, of course, you are welcome to share yours!
All fine examples of a great philatelic theme. The trophy for the most unexpected shape category goes to Bremerhaven, which looks like the result of a cross between a traffic cone and a minaret...
ReplyDeleteHaha - I almost included the Bremerhaven one, but decided to stick with the b&w theme. It IS such an unusual shape, and I like your description!
DeleteLighthouses come in all shapes and colours! :)
DeleteThe boxy shape (Oosterdijk) is also unusual. The embellishments on the Genoa one make it special.
ReplyDeleteI have visited a couple of the oldest lighthouses in Europe, but not this one. It is in my list!
DeleteHow do you get so many lighthouse stamps???? The Bremerhaven stamp is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteI collect them, and I have quite a few. It is a popular theme, it seems.
DeleteI'm amazed that you have this many to show today - i don't have any. The Italian one is my favorite here.
ReplyDeleteI cannot help you. There has been a while since the last time Correos issued a stamp with a lighthouse, alas.
DeleteI like that red Russian lighthouse. I've pretty much shown all my lighthouse stamps now! I may have a few old stamps with them in the background, but I'd have to spend a lot of time looking.
ReplyDeleteNext time :)
