If you liked the kestrel in last week's post I'm sure that, like me, you will be pleased to see one of the Big Five from Malawi.

However that is one stamp where I wish the country name was smaller.
If going to the theatre is your thing, how about visiting San Luis Potosi -

In Germany I found an impressive castle, and no it didn't belong to Ludwig.

In 2013 a joint issue between Germany and Australia commemorated the 200th Anniversary of the Birth of Ludwig Leichhardt. Ludwig disappeared along with 7 men, 20 mules and 70 bullocks on an exploration expedition in Australia in 1848.
No trace of them has ever been found other than the burnt-out stock of a gun in a tree, despite searches still being carried out.

I like how they have placed the leopard's nose in the country name. What a mysterious story about the explorers.
That leopard is superb.
And I had no idea about Leichhardt - crazy that their remains were never found.
Hi Bob - lovely to see the leopard ... but as you say the name is a little large or unnecessarily so ... but love the stamp - cheers Hilary
A nice and original selection, as usual. The leopard is amazing on this stamp.
Now I want to read more about the missing Ludwig!
