Mariánské Lázně (in German: Marienbad) is a spa town in the Czech Republic. The pictures show the health spa, particularly the main cast-iron colonnade.

The stamp honors Josef Bican, the famous Czech-Austrian football player. After World War II, he refused to play for Juventus Turin because he feared the Communists would come to power in Italy. Instead, he decided to stay in Czechoslovakia - how ironic!

Want to take a ride on the Seetal railway line? Better don't expect those classy steam locomotives, they use modern trains by now. And the timetable is 101 years old so you better don't rely on it.

The stamp is part of a series that commemorates the foundation of the Swiss Air Force. You can see a couple of F-5 fighter jets.  They're part of the Patrouille Suisse, an aerobatic team of the Air Force.
