# 062 - Lighthouses of Latvia











Thank you very much Oleg for this cover which feature the Liepajas Lighthouse on the stamp. The stamp was issued on 05.11.2009 by Latvijas Pasts (Post Latvia) as a part of their ongoing lighthouses stamps series. Further details on http://www.pasts.lv

Unfortunately this is a good example of how the post office can destroy a stamp with a bad machine cancellation. Friends please try and get the post office to use a hand cancellation where ever possible. I know it can be dificult at times. Thanks for your understanding.


# 061 - Lighthouses of Germany




















Received through Postcrossing (DE 461351) from Wilhelm Janssen who lives in Germany. Thank you very much. Norderney Lighthouse is featured on this stamp which was issued on 02.07.2009. Wilhelm was kind enough to send this postcard where on the reverse the Lighthouse of Pilsum is featured.
