Here's an interesting link (I posted it before in another thread) about the US 13-cent Ballet Dancer Stamp and the fact that the image is actually based on a living person -- and that was definitely against the rules back in that day. I had never known about it before reading the article: http://www.omaha.com/article/201112...2039885/1199 |

Lovely photo Rod! Thai traditions are graceful and fascinating in their detail. I'm not much of a dancer, dodgy knee. |
