| 1992: Edible Berries (Design - Dennis Noble: Engraving Ashton Potter) |
Well after all that travelling maybe nibble on some berries. I read that the Inuit dried or froze Black Crowberries and also brewed the twigs for tea. This scene is certainly the perfect place for a brew.
Sunday Stamps theme this week is - Mountains and Hills - reach the heights on See It On A Postcard

I bet there are a lot of Swiss stamps featuring mountains! I like those engravings, but I probably would prefer the berries.
Oh, and the first scene, Lenin peak, is impressive!
The Tell Chapel is looking out on a pretty calm lake. The other purple Swiss stamp has lost some of the definition of the brown one - funny how different colours can do that!
I'd much rather eat berries by a lake with a view to a mountain than climb the mountain.
At over 7000 m Lenin Peak must be quite a climb - for serious climbers only!
