Thought you might enjoy seeing a picture I made
on a Road trip to the North West.
These Totems were carved by native artists
from the same part of the world as the Heiltsuk and other First Nations people. I captured this image in Stanley Park, Vancouver.

Wonderful covers and thanks for posting your photo too. It's hard to imagine a country/state/part of a country being up for sale!
ReplyDeleteSuperb cover and those totems are amazing. I've only ever seen one in the British Museum but they look so much better amongst nature.
ReplyDeleteSuper photo; good stamp but the actual totems are better.
ReplyDeleteThe totems are pretty impressive! Great cover and stamps, too. I'm just starting to be interested in covers but I really can't let myself collect anything else.
ReplyDeleteimagine, 8 cents for airmail! so much more now. thank you for your contribution.
ReplyDeleteThese totem have always intrigued me. The stamp is superb. I'm not sure about the feeling of buying a state (but this is a different theme!).
ReplyDeletedont exactly know why, but Totems have always fascinated me...feeling so mysterious, as if hiding many secrets behind those "facial expressions"
ReplyDeleteInteresting pictures!
