The magical Bohinj


This is one of my favorites if not the favorite. It is a card of the magical lake Bohinj and it was sent from Slovenia by Leonardo.According to Leonardo,the name Bohinj originates from the word Boh ,an eternal word meaning God. The legend has it that when god was givin g out land to the people,he forgot about a stall, silent ,patient and modest group. He felt pity for them and gave them the most beautiful land of them all, which he spared fro himself-Bohinj.

The stamps were canceled on the 14th of April 2008 in Ljubjana. Beautiful stamps indeed! Thanks alot Leonardo!!
