Marine Life on cover from Djibouti

Here's a nice cover from Djibouti with stamps showing marine life. Set of twelve stamps is issued on 14.5.2000. On these 3 stamps you can see:

 Corythoichthys ocellatus, the ocellated pipefish or orange-spotted pipefish, a marine pipefish found in the western Pacific Ocean

Cephalopholis miniata, known commonly as the coral hind, widespread throughout the tropical waters of the Indo-West Pacific area, including Durban, South Africa, the Red Sea, and Line Islands.

Ptereleotris hanae, the Blue gudgeon dartfish,Blue hana goby, a species of dartfish native to the western Pacific Ocean.


Thank you, Jinesh!

Postcard from Djibouti

This is my first postcard from Djibouti, small country located in the Horn of Africa. It is bordered by Eritrea in the north, Ethiopia in the west and south, and Somalia in the southeast. The state of Djibouti is predominantly inhabited by two ethnic groups, the Somali and the Afar people. Djibouti is a multi-ethnic nation with a population of over 884,017 inhabitants. French and Arabic are the country's two official languages. About 94% of residents adhere to Islam, which is the official religion and has been predominant in the region for more than a thousand years.

On this fantastic looking stamp you can see grivet (Chlorocebus aethiops), issued on 29.5.1993, and nice blue postmark.


Thank you, Melanie!
