Interesting Footnote on this

 On Sept 29, 1930 this was part of  a 15 stamp series paying tribute to Christopher Columbus which was privately produced and presented to the Spanish Postal Authority which placed them on sale and allowed them to be used for 3 days and keeping the revenue from the sales. I'd certainly be interested in gleaning more info on this set. # 429 in my catalogue of the set #418-432.

Architecture

 Phenomenal architecture cover from Angel.

 This one is awesome. The Vizcaya Bridge, I'm more curious about the tall ship.

This is a UNESCO site, just as Cahokia Mounds is, which is near me.

 

 Nothing square around here.  A photo from my trip to Seattle tomorrow.

Dusk or Dawn?

Hagatma Bay in Guam, west of Hawaii, though it closely resembels it.

   Another tucked away letter.  My how things can accumulate in such a short time. 

 I went to the local post today and picked up some Hagatma Bay stamps.  I was a bit disappointed with what little was available. I was like, this is it?

 It's no wonder kids don't want to collect stamps. What they need to do is come up with game piece stamps and a super cool game similar to Yugioh or any of the other card "games". 

 Thank you Luis for the cover from Spain, I can add it to my growing quest page , sorry for not posting this sooner.

 Oh here, it might help if I upload this scan.

  I've lost it to the top of my page. It will have to stay there.

Dusk, not dawn, Jimmie. From the USPS: The Postal Service will issue this stamp in the Scenic American Landscapes series to honor the Territory of Guam. Located approximately 1,600 miles east of the Philippines in the Pacific Ocean, Guam is the largest and southernmost of the Mariana Islands. Approximately 212 square miles in size — roughly three times the area of Washington, D.C. — Guam is home to a population of approximately 158,000 people, including native Guamanians, known as Chamorro, as well as others of European and Asian descent. Today the island is a popular destination for tourists, with some 1.5 million people visiting the island annually to enjoy its natural beauty. The stamp features a photograph by Michael S. Yamashita of a sunset of Hagåtña Bay in Hagatna, the capital of Guam.

Thanks Roger  Guam also has a large us military base, I sailed past it in the Navy, but never got a chance to stop there.  It's Dusk then.

A nice cover from http://sendmeacover.blogspot.com/.

I wonder if there are any more in this transportation set. I also wonder what the rate is compared to the postage. I've written back, but used three .37 stamps which is a bit more then the rate. My apologies to the purists.

I recieved this cover today at the post office. It was attempted twice to be delivered as noted by the initials, probably my postmans and whoever he turned it to each night. Being registered I couldn't just sign for it to be dropped off without someone present.



Angel has a new blog he started and I'd like to first give you his new blog address. http://sendmeacover.blogspot.com/

I noticed a link on his site to http://gulfmanncollection.blogspot.com/
which just happens to be a favorite of mine to read.



Spains on my quest list now


No postmarks on the reverse of cover. Only his address if you want to mail a cover to someone and don't know whom to.

I recieved this cover from M.D.. Check my links...Cddstamps. He's always got stamp contests with prizes and such going on.

Thanks Doc!!

Much is to be found on simple covers. This here is a nice example of a metered stamp. Transportation series.

Special anniversary cancelation. My Spanish is poor, something about the Virgin Mary. Comments are more then welcome with greater info.



This woman is rumored to appear now and then......

I looked this up this am. #314. This is a minimum value stamp. 1920 issue date.

Plain Jane looking!! Blue green ink and no perforations.

Stamps issued by Spain prior to this were quite detailed. See below issued till only 1899.

It makes me wonder why they went on the cheap in designing this gem?

OK, I admit it, I really like these nude stamps. There's just something about seeing a beautiful woman nude that's fascinated me since I was about old enough to walk and talk at the same time. Even before I started collecting stamps. Hehe.
