Today's theme in Sunday Stamps is Geology, Rocks. A nice excuse to visit some fascinating mountains and volcanoes...
Canada, 2017. This stamp depicts Dinosaur Provincial Park (Alberta), which was declared a World Heritage Site in 1979 for its exceptional fossil specimens of Cretaceous dinosaurs, as well as undisturbed badlands and riverside habitat. The Dinosaur Park Formation, which contains most of the articulated dinosaur skeletons, was laid down between about 76.5 and 74.8 million years ago.
Hungary, 2019. Magyar Posta issued a commemorative stamp
in honour of the centenary of the birth of Sir Edmund Percival Hillary, the legendary
mountain climber, explorer and diplomat. Hillary and the Nepalese Sherpa Tenzing Norgay
became the first people to reach the top of the highest mountain in the world.
Indonesia, 2017. Gunung Bromo or Mount Bromo, is an active volcano and part of the Tengger massif, in East Java, Indonesia, 2,329 meters high.
Japan, 2018. 富士山 ('Fujisan') or Mount Fuji, is the highest volcano in Japan at 3,776.24 m and symbol of the country, on this Overseas Greeting stamp.
Spain, 2018. Don't forget your boots!
Beautiful mountains, and surprising (and wise advising) last stamp :-)
ReplyDeleteI didn't find any stamp with mountains from Spain, but I did find this one :)
DeleteBeautiful Stamps!
ReplyDeleteThanks! :D
DeleteI like the description - the Badlands. Love the Java view.
ReplyDeleteI copied that from the Canada Post site, and it made me smile, too :)
DeleteI would love to visit that part of Canada in the future!
ReplyDeleteThat landscape must be really amazing to see.
DeleteI visited the badlands a long time ago - they are aptly named.
DeleteLovely stamps. Good to see the tribute to Hillary and Tenzing.
ReplyDeleteI thought I would see more stamps about this theme last year.
DeleteGood to see that Tenzing Norgay was included on the stamp; Hillary would never have made it without him, but perhaps Tenzing could have made it without Hillary. It's interesting to see how they spell his name, too!
ReplyDeleteThat's what I like most on this stamp, both names :)
DeleteGreat stamps, hard to choose between mount Fuji and the Hungarian stamp as my favorite.
ReplyDeleteNo need to choose :D
DeleteDağları seviyorum:)

DeleteThanks for your visit.
