Sunday Stamps - K

1979, Canada
designer: Jon Eby

In 1979, the Canoe-Kayak World Championships were held in Jonquiere Quebec. I have only ever gone kayaking, or canoeing, on a calm lake. This, however, is a not sport for the faint of heart - it involves a course full of rocks, eddies, rapids, fast currents, and high waves. In a kayak the paddler sits with legs in front, facing forward in a closed deck using a double bladed paddle.
A posterized version of a photograph was chosen by designer Jon Eby.

    I'm plesaed that I can make a direct connection to kayaking via a white water centre on my local river even if it is man made. Don't miss the kingfisher here - http://bit.ly/2JfVwnf

    I like watching kayakers but that is as close as it gets. I like how the stamp captures the white water. I'm taking to the saddle this week here
