Wow - I'll be dam(ned)...that's a lot of impressing dams - and beautiful stamps. My father should have seen this thread, as he was involved in several huge dam projects worldwide, including 5 years living in Pakistan on the Mangla Dam - Hindus River project. I remember when he teased me into stamp collecting as a kid, he was very proud of this stamp: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mangla_Dam |
