Again I have to go back and show some old stamps from Finland. I must admit this is the first time I knew what they depicted.

| Finland |
From left to right these are:
- Church at Lammi - 1957; the stamp reappears later with the denomination shown as 0,50
- The Häme Bridge, Tampere
- Pyhakoski Power Station - 1959; later the denomination is shown as 0,75
- Helsinki South Harbour - 1958
- Helsinki South Harbour - later
The building on the South Harbour Stamps is the Cathedral of St Nicholas which appeared on a stamp in 1950 commemorating the 400 years anniversary of Helsinki (I believe)'
For more Finnish views cross over to Viridian's Sunday-Stamps-123.

I love engraved stamps, these are a nice selection. Power stations seemed to be a popular theme in the 50s.
A nice engraved set. Thank for looking up what they depict. And thank you for participating.
Interesting stamps again. You must really be into collecting them.

They are nice designs, I was thinking about power stations on stamps too, very much of the era.
Very nice designs you always please us with your stamps!
I wasn't thinking about power stations at all, but will now be on the lookout!
Super neat looking Finnish stamp!

I really like this style of stamp.
Nice selection! Very different from current Finnish stamps, isn't it?
