Lill Lindfors stamp

The Lill Lindfors stamp is based upon a photo taken during a kayak trip in the archipelago near her summer cottage. "I think Aland has perfect surroundings for kayaking", Lill Lindfors explains. "Imagine gliding without a sound through shallow waters and having opportunity to get real close to the bird life. Not to mention all small islands and narrow inlets that you cannot reach with a big boat. The archipelago, the nature, the rocks and the calmness – the stamp reflects everything that I associate with Aland."
