Stamps are not
just some pieces of paper we place on a letter to send
it somewhere. They contain communication, history,
geography, pictures, folklore, wars - nearly anything.
I have collected stamps since I was 7-8 years old, and
still do. In these pages I want to present some of
what I have collected, and my hope is that it will not
only interest those who already collect stamps, but
anybody who is interested in - LIFE. Check it out
for yourself, and see that stamps open up areas you
didn't imagine could be extracted from stamps!
Like the front
page of the card above. It tells a story.
Below you'll find a link to Albania. The country
has a long and colourful story, also on stamps.
Enjoy the reading - and be happy about the fact that
some of these stamps have survived several wars!

East Africa
East Africa is a
historically very interesting area. So is it's
stamps! You'll find some examples from my
collection here.
Norway
I am not presenting my
Norwegian collection as such, but
here you can
find a nice selection of postcards, mainly from
Sauda.
And
here I
am presenting a few cancellation from the Ryfylke area
in Rogaland, my home county, including Sauda.
Blue Cross
and the fight against alcohol on stamps
Since I have been working
in Blue Cross for some years, it was natural to collect
stamps that somehow reflected this kind of work.
