These stamps are quite unusual. I like the cross shape of the left hand one. The right hand one shows a scene from the opera ‘L’amour de Loin’ by Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho. The words that can just be seen in a circle are from a libretto in the fifth act and read “ma priere s'eleve vers toi qui es” (my prayer rises to you who are).

Welcome. I love it when visitors comment - even if it's only to say "Hi, I've been here!"
