I'm stampolina and I love to take photos of stamps. Thanks for visiting this pages on flickr.
I'm neither a typical collector of stamps, nor a stamp dealer. I'm only a stamp photograph. I'm fascinated of the fine close-up structures which are hidden in this small stamp-pictures. Please don't ask of the worth of these stamps - the most ones have a worth of a few cents or still less.
By the way, I wanna say thank you to all flickr users who have sent me stamps! Great! Thank you! Someone sent me 3 or 5 stamps, another one sent me more than 20 stamps in a letter. It's everytime a great surprise for me and I'm everytime happy to get letters with stamps inside from you!
thx, stampolina
For the case you wanna send also stamps - it is possible. (...I'm pretty sure you'll see these stamps on this photostream on flickr :) thx!

Architectural Monuments in Austria - "Vienna Gate in Hainburg"
Around 900, Heimo, the cupbearer of King Arnulf, founded a defensive castle on Hainburg's Schlossberg in order to protect the settlers who had moved from Bavaria downstream along the Danube. It was called Heimoburg castle after its founder Heimo, from the dynasty of the Counts of Rott. The castle gave the city its name: Heiminburch - Heimenburk - Heimburk. The ancient Amber Road passed through Hainburg, continuing via Hungary to the South. This difficult geographic location explains the eventful history of Hainburg during the more than 1000 years of its existence. Hainburg was a strategically important fortress against raids from the East. The fortifications that were built in the course of the centuries are among the most beautiful ones preserved in Austria. Hainburg still has twelve peels and three tower gates. The stamp shows the 20 m high Vienna Gate in Hainburg. The lower part of the Gate dates back to medieval times. After the Turkish raids around 1532, the upper part of the tower was built, whose embrasures account for its characteristically massive features.
