We had an athletic meeting from Stockholm on TV yesterday. This reminded me of the one time holder of six world records from the USA.
Owens name has become iconic as a result of his exploits in the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin.
The stamp comes from the Celebrate the Century series for the 1930s.
From Great Britain I have chosen an Ox-Eye Daisy from 1967.
As a boy in the 1940s I used to walk and fish in the River Chater in the village of Ketton in Rutland. In those days I could follow otter hounds as they went hunting along the river. I'm pleased to say that they never found any.

I dont know if it is just me, but I cannot see any of the images here, they all have that 'stop' traffic symbol...just in grey :)
Your images aren't showing up, just a symbol like a do not enter sign. I can imagine the GB stamps from the description:)
I'm not sure why, but I cannot see the pictures on this post (?!). I have tried with different browsers.
Looks OK to me using Chrome Browser
But not when I use Safari!!
Now I can see them (using Opera browser; the one I usually do - ?!), I'm very pleased with the nature stamps, and Jesse Owens'. I like the great sense of movement on that image.
