CH-113827

I have just returned from a mini holiday in the Austrian Alps, but the card I have sent myself has not arrived yet, so I am posting Swiss mountains instead.

CH-113827

The card also shows cows which are considered to be "nice" animals, but the ycan in fact be really dangerous, especially now as they have young ones. Every other week there is news about another cow incident... So just admire them from a safe distance. Moooh :-)

Sunday stamps #79

Here is this week's edition of Sunday stamps and that was our weekly task: 

"It's Canada Day, US Independence Day, Bastille Day, and probably other national holidays. Let's share Flag stamps or patriotic stamps, from your country or another country."

I thought this would be harder, but I have many flag stamps in my collection. Some are country flags, but I halso have a collection of US state or territory stamps. No patriotic Austrian stamps of course - for historic reasons patriotism is not considered an entirely good thing here around...

I think I have shown these before - these are old stamps from the US, if I remember correctly they have something to do with WWII.

Flag of Finland

And this one is from Åland, an autonomous, demilitarised, monolingually Swedish-speaking region of Finland

The flag of Michigan

Here is the one of Illinois

A mix of flag colours and symbols from the United Nations

Flags of United Nations Memberstates

The flag of the United Arab Emirates

An old US stamp with the US flag

The flag of American Samoa

Here flies the South Korean flag



Above are five more US Stae flags

Have a look at the other flags and patriotic stamps here:
