Cover from Sweden no. 2

A fantastic cover received a few days ago from Stockholm, Sweden, with 11(!) engraved stamp, works by such authors as Cz. Slania (the two top left stamps from 1982 (Living Together), or M. Morck (Niels Bohr, 1982). The topics range from Nobel Price winners (Hamsun, Kroch, Bohr, Kawabata), to Christmas (1985) and horse sports (1990, engraved by I. Sjooblom), with a stamp commemorating the 8th World's Postal Congress, from 1974. Thank you very much, Minna!

Cover from Sweden no. 1

A cover sent on 18 April 2010 from Stockholm, with two stamps from a series of five (four self-adhesives in a block and one separate stamp) dedicated to allotment gardens and the joys of summers, issued on 26 May 2005. Thank you, Minna:)

Postcard from Sweden

On 13 November 2008 I received this nice postcard from Sweden. It shows the forest district near Jokkmokk (north of the Polar Circle), part of the UNESCO-protected Laponian area.

The beautiful stamp shows the ketch Gratitude from a series dedicated to sailing ship issued on 15 May 2008. It was engraved by Martin Morck. The hand-cancellation is a bit on the simple side and does not contain much useful information, but even this is a real postal operation.

Thank you M.!
