Well, New Zealand has a big sheep of its own, even with a sheep dog next to it!


(I was wondering what looked so odd about the sheep until I realized that its eyes are more like those of a cat than a sheep! see photos.)

As for the Andorra stamp. The name of the sculptor it's actually Jordi Casamajor (Sant Julià de Lòria, Andorra, 1971).
"Carro Votiu", in Catalan (spoken also in Andorra) stands for "Votive Chariot". For the pictures, I would say that the sculpture is about 4 m tall.

Hi, Cursus, Thanks so much for the correction! Have you any idea where this chariot stands?
Here is another piece of modern art to enjoy.

Hi Kris, it seems that this chariot is in the small village of Llorts (145 h), on the "parròquia" or district of Ordino (North of Andorra).

This one is for the staff of the Stamp Community who keep licking our stamps so well that they look good in public.

When I saw this "construction?" I knew that it must be exactly what a headache looks like! Alice Maher is a well-known Irish artist.

This, although it seems to be another thing should be something related to Christmas.

Machinery worker, printed by photogravure, and issued by Japan on July 1, 1977 as one of a set of four se-tenant stamps publicizing National Safety Week, Scott No. 1307. A former employee of Santa's Workshop, perhaps?

So, if you don't put on enough postage, they send a Panther to collect?
