abstract art, part 2
This stamp from the Netherlands celebrates the Floriade, a massive horticultural expo held every ten years. On this particular year, 1992, it was held in Zoetermeer in the southwest of the country.

another one from the Netherlands, this one a 'greetings' stamp from 1993. I have no idea what those triangular shapes represent

This floral expo sounds interesting.
ReplyDeleteI am with you, I am not sure what is represented on these stamps! Good for the theme however.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining in.
I like the flora one, even if it is a bit monochromatic.
ReplyDeleteI really like the second stamp, with its bright colours and triangles... they kind of remind me of sail boats. Great stamp. Sorry to hear about the tendinitis: that totally sucks!
ReplyDeleteNetherland always show very interesting stamps.

I like the water lilies on the first, I wonder if the design continues onto another stamp. I think the second are yachts too, a word we get from the Dutch. Sorry to hear about your tendinitis.
ReplyDeleteI like both stamps, and both are great choices for the theme.
ReplyDeleteTwo fine stamps - I thought of yachts too.
ReplyDeleteMissed visiting last week die to what I thought was flu but it thankfully disappeared.
ReplyDeleteI was there at that Floriade in 1992! It was a wonderful experience for me though two reluctant teenagers were tagging along. Their memories aren't quite the same.
"due to" but I did think I was dying....
