Welcome to this stamps, first-day covers and postcards gallery of mine euphemistically called Lets Talk Stamps. My desire here, is to show as often as I can, some of my presumed beauties and talk about them. And hopefully make Your Day in the bargain. In case you want a better view, JUST CLICK on the picture and it will be ENLARGED. Please also see my picture postcards blog www.mypicturepostcards.blogspot.in

SWA 17.9.1976 - State Hospitals
South West Africa had two state hospitals in the Windhoek area in Namibia. These two hospitals are depicted on these 1976 stamps. The 15c stamp shows the hospital at Augustineum and the 20c stamp the one at Katutura. The name Katutura strangely means "where no one wants to live". Thank you Maria.
