Of course the Olympics this year is in Paris but at the moment sports lovers are watching a football at the Euros in Germany where the hosts are looking impressive.

Having the right of issuing stamps deserves a big celebration, indeed :)
That Mongolian flag is really BIG, and I am astonished as well by the last stamp. How many flags did they fit on a single stamp?

At first glance, I was wondering if that Mongolian horse was trying to escape the enormous flapping flag!
The 1977 Paraguayan stamps show so much Olympic history.

Love the round stamp! Lots of flags there.

Nice round one! I do like the older Mongolian with the horse best.

The Mongolian flag has an interesting design. I like the round stamp too...

Your Aland and Mongolia stamps are incredible! I'm definitely feeling a little stamp envy over here, especially since those countries can be so tough to get stamps (and postcards) from. Those are on my wishlist! Finding them is like finding a hidden gem and it makes them even more special.

P.S. Interesting to see Cyrillic script on the Mongolian stamp.
