Scenery - Sunday Stamps II

I'm a bit late in posting this week but have finally made it back home.

The stamps I have to show this week all date from 1966, one from Poland and a set of four from Great Britain.

Poland - 1966
Pieniny is a mountain range in the south of Poland and the north of Slovakia consisting mainly of limestone and dolomite rocks.

The British set shows landscapes from England, Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland.

Landscapes - Sunday Stamps

I had a number of stamps to chose from for Viridian's geology/landscapes theme this week but finally settled for a set from 1966.

Great Britain - Landscapes, 2 May 1966

As is often the case in sets like this there is one from each of the countries - England, Ireland, Wales and Scotland. Somehow, to me, a castle seems out of place in a set like this.
