Year of the Dragon 2012 - Hong Kong



Souvenir sheet. The scan doesn't do this stamp justice. The dragon is outlined in embossed gold ink.

Spectacular dragons, love the 'water dragons stamp, that art style certainly suits the subject.

Perhaps I should add this Czech coat of arms (previously seen on that other thread).
See if you can spot the dragon (shouldn't be too hard).

Hi Leng, BAYERN1kreuzer, and jamesw. Nice stamps, dragons are everywhere :) That's a gruesome story about Siegfried killing the dragon of Drachenfels and then bathing in its blood. Great stuff. I'm getting a lot of stamps from ebay at the moment, I am collecting 2012 CNY Dragon stamps in particular. More to arrive soon.

Year of the Dragon 2012 - China



Some people think this dragon is too fierce. I think it is a great stamp.

Happy St George's Day to fellow Brits. I have been overseas for about 6 years now. I don't know about dragons, but I could definitely attack a good Sunday roast (with combination of mashed and roast spuds, peas, carrots and stuffing - and some decent gravy). No roast dinners here. It has been so long, I am starting to hallucinate.

Anyway, there are several dragons of St George in the topic already, anyone have any more on this special dragon day?

Some Catalan St. George (and the dragon) cinderellas.

Nice one Cursus, I didn't know Catalonia celebrated Sant Jordi on this day also! I extend my greetings to Catalonians as well as Brits :)

I've been away too long. I suppose it is only English people celebrating today. Other Brits, as you were.
