Cover#59 Czech, Last cover of the year,



This cover was sent on the last day of 2014 year with the special postmark from the post in Praha to celebrate new year. Traditionaly, Czech post use this postmark every year for this even by only changing the year.
Of corse it was not the last day of Year of the Horse and the stamps were not Horse year stamps but this one still made something special for my Lunar collection.

Cover#58 PC#51 #52 #53 Vietnam, Tràng An Landscape Complex issue


Trang An Landscape Complex

UNESCO site
Date of inscription: 2014

Situated near the southern margin of the Red River Delta, the Trang An Landscape Complex is a spectacular landscape of limestone karst peaks permeated with valleys, many of them partly submerged and surrounded by steep, almost vertical cliffs. Exploration of caves at different altitudes has revealed archaeological traces of human activity over a continuous period of more than 30,000 years. They illustrate the occupation of these mountains by seasonal hunter-gatherers and how they adapted to major climatic and environmental changes, especially the repeated inundation of the landscape by the sea after the last ice age. The story of human occcupation continues through the Neolithic and Bronze Ages to the historical era. Hoa Lu, the ancient capital of Viet Nam, was strategically established here in the 10th and 11th centuries AD. The property also contains temples, pagodas, paddy-fields and small villages.

Today, 23 Jan 2015, the first new issues of this year 2015 is specially released in Trang An, Ninh Binh province located in the south of Ha Noi.
Actually, this set has just added into the programme issues list of this year recenctly by the fact that Trang An was recognized in the UNESCO list in June 2014 and 23 Jan 2015 is the day Ninh Bình received the certificate from that organisation. 
So, instead of releasing only one UNECO stampset as tradition, we will have 2 for this year.
