I really like that lighthouse set from Royal Mail. The designs do a fantastic job of including all sorts of extras without making the stamp look too busy or detracting from the lighthouse itself.
There is something comforting about seeing lighthouses with their beacons shining in the night. It is nice to see them on postage stamps. I like to photograph them too (as well as other subjects) but many are no longer in use.
I am big lighthouse lover (and lighthouse hunter). They working or not, it depends on the country. In Spain & Morocco most of them are still in use. Even if they aren't so useful like in the past times, maybe, but still needed!

ReplyDeleteYes, these are among the best stamps of lighthouses ever. I have received some of them (mostly form John, but also from other friends).
