I'm not sure if I love stamps because I love mail, if I love mail because I love stamps, or perhaps I love them independently of each other. I adored celebrating Kansas' 150th birthday all year long with its statehood stamp in 2011, but I might be even more excited for 2012's Earthscapes series. "This stamp pane presents examples of three categories of earthscapes: natural, agricultural, and urban. The photographs were all created high above the planet’s surface, either snapped by “eyes in the sky” — satellites orbiting the Earth — or carefully composed by photographers in aircraft."
I am particularly smitten with the center stamp featuring "center-pivot irrigation," as that is what my first hometown looks like from the sky.
Via Beyond the Perf.
