here is one awesome card from my favourites! Actually, I think that all Scottish
cards are just awesome! I dont know how they manage it, but I think that even
out of the simplest thing, they can make a fantastic card!
St. Kilda is an
isolated archipelago in the North Atlantic Ocean, containing the westernmost
islands of the Outer Hebrides of Scotland.
The card here shows the Village
Bay...probably the most famous place on St. Kilda. It is considered as the most
complete and least altered site of its type in Scotland and in this respect is
an excellent example of a settlement associated with what is now a rapidly
declining crofting way of life - a rural tradition of great
significance.
These houses are just soo cool, esp. that one with the light
coming from the inside...even feels surreal...for a moment I thought it may be
the sun coming through the backside window..but there is a mountain on that
side, so sun cant possibly be lurking here...just like one of those fairy tale
stories when two kids go astray in the woods, and just there in the distance,
notice a glimmering light...but the situation is veiled in mystery and
uneasiness...well, you are familiar with those tales :)
Now, St Kilda is also
on the UNESCO whs list, so I guess this part of it is also included
...
well, here you have
three queen stamps, and one from a set of 4 stamps, dedicated to the Olympic and
Paralympic Games in London of this year.
