My first postcard from Åland Islands! The Åland Islands is a region of Finland that consists of an archipelago lying at the entrance to the Gulf of Bothnia in the Baltic Sea. It is autonomous, demilitarized and is the only monolingual Swedish-speaking region in Finland. The Åland Islands formed part of the territory ceded to Russia by Sweden under the Treaty of Fredrikshamn in September 1809. As a result, along with all other parts of Finland, they became part of the semi-autonomous Grand Duchy of Finland, and they stayed a part of Finland to this day.
As you can see, some bastard from Serbian post has again stole my stamps! Only one stamp survived, Ermine (Mustela erminea), issued on 2004-02-02.
Thank You very much Nina!
