Sunday Stamps - Winter Sports

Well, the Winter Olympics have started, and I remembered that there are stamps with the games and sports on them. Today's theme is Winter Sports, set by See it on a Postcard
I've watched a few ends of Curling, and think it could be interesting to try. Quite a bit of skill. Fascinated by the way they glide and sweep on the ice. Never played myself but did play some lawn bowls in town several years ago. 

Then, there's the lenticular Alpine Skiing stamps from Finland issued in 2008. I think I have received them all one way or another on Postcrossing postcards. I have never been skiing. Although the hills/mountains near where I live do get snow, in recent years not usually enough for skiing. There are some dry ski slopes within 30 miles though.

    1. Stamps don't need to be big. I sometimes wish Royal Mail would issue smaller stamps.

      I should have put a coin or something in for size..

    2. I understand why some people like the smaller stamps (great for postcards!) but I still prefer the larger format. at least with these ones the image is clear.

  5. Love that little Canadian stamp. I've never seen Paralympics curling, I will have to see if they show it here in March.
