A December getaway on a calm beach in Aruba, one of the islands in the Netherlands Antilles

Whereas Aruba is mostly flat, a little further south you can find these 1,000 metre high cliffs at Mount Roraima in northwestern Brazil (as well as Guyana and Venezuela)

Sunday Stamps II - 93

1950s, definitive Netherlands Antilles
Queen Juliana

The Dutch Antilles was established as a country in 1954 and was dissolved in 2010. It was a former constituent country of The Netherlands though all the islands that formed the Netherlands Antilles remain part of the Netherlands, but the legal status of each island differs. This stamp shows Queen Juliana, who of course, comes from the House of Orange. She reigned from 1948 - 1980.
