Market Reef Aland Islands and Russia

Europe-Aland Islands-Market Reef   This is a very unusual place to visit . It is a lighthouse between Finland and Sweden. In fact part of the Island is owned by Sweden and Part by Finland. So it is a divided Island. At one stage the Lighthouse was over the border of the two countries and a line in the lighthouse showed which part was Sweden and which part was Finland. You get here by a small  boat from the Aland Islands . You can even stay and sleep here. It is a popular tourist attraction for anyone into Lighthouses. 

Here you can see a stamp showing Market Reef  and a special Postmark for Market reef. 

Europe-Russia-Vyborg   Quite a interesting town just over the border from Finland. Came here by train from Helsinki on the same line to St. Petersbourg. 

I collect Russian stamps and really enjoyed using this stamp like the way it is printed off square.

    Interesting, I've been to Åland many times,
    but somehow never noticed this tiny lighhouse island.

    Nice matching stamp too! :)
