Also known as 'Ragged Point' Lighthouse, this one is on the most easterly point of Barbados looking out over the Atlantic. I read that there was a plan afoot to restore it, but I don't think that happened. This is one of four (and the only one I have) stamps from 2013 celebrating the four lighthouses in Barbados. None of them are open.
I've never skied downhill - and never will - too scared of the combination of height and speed. But I enjoy watching others taking to the slopes.
One of the oldest buildings in the Vieux Carre (French Quarter), After three centuries, it is still catering to connoisseurs and discriminating drinkers from around the world
Roberta Bondar, astronaut as well as neurologist, photographer and author.
She spent 8 days, 1 hour and 14 minutes in space (1992)
If I didn't recognize his face, I'd have no idea this was Aristotle. I'm sure the writing surrounding the stamp is very profound...
I know you've all seen the Canadian flag. It is promoted shamelessly, endlessly, and is slapped on any and all products that are Canadian, as well as many, many stamps. But, unlike the Americans, we are not a flag waving from your front porch kind of country. That is changing as, in light of current ... issues, we are being encouraged to fly it proudly this weekend. Flag makers have been furiously sewing like crazy to keep up! This FDC shows the very first stamp of the flag that has its 60th anniversary on Feb 15th. I like the 'simplicity' of this, though remember well having to learn how to get all those points right - which was challenging for a seven year old (but then getting the crosses correct on the Union Jack was equally challenging)An even simpler design is the Japanese flag, which was adopted as a civil flag in 1858 and as a national flag in 1999. I like how this stamp includes the chrysanthemum imperial seal and the cherry blossoms.
Scolecite from Teigarhorn, one of the most famous zeolite locations in the country.
Scolecite forms as sprays of prismatic needles, with large deposits in Iceland. The crystals will curl when exposed to intense heat which is how it came to be named for the Greek word for worm.
Teigarhorn is a natural monument and nature preserve in the eastern part of Iceland.

Another topographic map, this one showing the directions the landscape takes (makes me think of seeing the bent trees from the prevailing winds) following the Mid-Atlantic Ridge which divides the county into the North American Plate and the Eurasian Plate
of least concern
Wrigley Field, the second oldest ballpark (opened 1914 after Fenway Park, Boston, 1912) They are the possibly the only two major league stadia I could immediately name both the city and sport.
