Emirates Post released this set of stamps commemorating the 22nd Al Gaffal 60 ft Traditional Dhow Sailing Race, in denominations of Dh1 and Dh5, along with a Souvenir Sheet of Dh15 and First Day Cover of Dh7. The stamps were issued on 27th May 2012.

A dhow is a sailing boat. What I like about this issue is the peculiar shape of the stamps but it seems to be apt. The shape is resemblant of a sail and very unique. Perfect fit to my collection of odd shaped stamps on cover.

Cover - China

Beautiful cover from China. Any cover with a complete set of stamps on it always excites me. This stamp set shows four diurnal (a daily recurring pattern) raptors or birds of prey in Falconiformes, namely Aquila Heliaca, Circus Cyaneus, Accipiter Gentilis, and Falco Tinnunculus. It was issued on Feb 23rd, 2014 by China Post. The four stamps amount to a total denomination of 5.4 Yuan.
