On Friday I got my two first cards from the Republic of Ireland.
Skellig Michael is known throughout the world of archaeology as the site of a well preserved monastic outpost of the Early Christian period. It was inhabited since the 7th century and is located 12km off the coast of south-west Ireland. Skellig Michael is since 1996 a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Small Skellig is equally renowned in matters of ornithology as the home of some 27000 pairs of gannets. It is the second largest colony of gannets in the World.
Stamp:
Contemporary Public Buildings-Croke Park (from set of four) (issued 17-10-2013)
The Croke Park is a stadium in Dublin. The Croke Park is the largest stadium in the Republic of Ireland and the fifth largest in Europe. It has a capacity of 82300 spectators.
Thank You very much Lea!
