2013: Rock Music (Design - Kasper Eistrup) |
I thought at first the DK was for Denmark however this is possibly not the full story. The guitar belongs to Kasper Eistrop who is also the lead singer of the Indie Alt Rock band Kashmir and the designer of the stamp. For all those David Bowie fans out there he performed a duet with Eistrop on one of their albums.
1998: Post and Tele Museum (Design L Skovbo Carlsen) |
Maybe one could listen to music while waiting for a postal delivery. What was the Post and Telecommunications Museum holds thousands of portraits of postal employees and this is a postman from 1922. The museum also holds Denmark's largest stamp collection. Don't head there yet because there has been a relocation and rebranding to become 'Enigma - Museum of Communication' and it will reopen in February 2023. Seems a certain lack of stamps on their website.
1989\: Centenary of the Danish FA (Design - M Sturup) |
Dansk Boldspil-Union (DBU) the Danish Football Association will be willing their country on in the World Cup but things are not going to plan
1994: Save Water and Energy (Design - T Skov) |
No need to save water here on the west coast as we have had weeks of Atlantic weather systems rolling in with days of rain. Good weather for ducks. Not completely all gloom for between the storms, like weather punctuation marks, have been, a day at a time, amazingly clear blue skies.
This is a picture puzzle stamp saying 'Save Water' but of course in Danish so - 'Spara på vand' . Two clues - Duck in Danish is 'And' so + V would make water. What we call the club card is 'Spar' in Danish
Sunday Stamps theme this week is - The Letter D - See It On A Postcard

Sadly, I have so few Danish stamps. The last one is clever.
Imagine a museum with postal employee's portraits!
DEN may not be having a great world cup, but as I write this CAN is doing very well.
... spoke too soon!!! not going well after all.
I like that first stamp!
I get few stamps from Denmark, and I love that country's designs. The guitar one is striking!
