Sunday Stamps | Parus Rock

Parus Rock, situated 17 km from Gelendzhik, stands perpendicular to the coast and it is three-quarters hidden underwater. This natural monument, 30 m tall and about a metre thick, is shaped like a rectangular sail.

The stamp was issued on 27 April 2012, and belongs to the series Winter Olympic Games 2014 - Sochi - Tourism on Black Sea. 

This is a Sunday Stamps post, the topic today being Geology.

    Love sandstone, at 1m thick it is quite a survivor.

    And it even looks like there's a hole just as with a real sail.

      There must be a lot of similar stamps, but some of them are particularly nice.
