Anyway, to start things off, a stamp that came recently in the mail, on a postcard from Germany.
The only thing I can find on the all-knowing internet is of a place in Liechtenstein, but why would this appear on a German stamp? Is this a general name for a mountain hut? The one shown does look like this one on the stamp.
Anyway the stamp is here today because I like it, and I couldn't think of a theme to force onto it. Maybe I will make this a suggestion for you: share a stamp that you like, that may not fit into any reasonable theme. Or just a stamp you like! Add your link below.
Theme next week: Insects.
I am on Facebook too: just search for Viridian61. I post only when I have put up a blog post, and very little else.

Your stamp is a “Germany-Liechtenstein Joint Stamp”. Here is a page that tells about it:

Thank you Postcardy for that information!
well, after every child in Liechtenstein, now *I* also know about Pfälzerhütte :)
Really lovely place!
I agree, it is a beautiful place! After hours of walking, Pfälzerhütte is a great place to enjoy the view.

Those would have been some tiring school outings to reach that place!
I love the perspective, sums up walking in the mountains of Europe.
Nice stamp, Viridian. And nice to have a free theme this week too.
It looks a very scenic area.
I didn't know they did joint stamps like this. It's good.
I have received this stamp as well, but I had no idea it was a joint issue!
France frequently has joint issues with other countries, something I'd never heard of before we lived there. The last I saw was the USA-France MilesDavis-Edith Piaf issue. I've never seen a UK joint issue but I may have blinked at the time.
