This stamp was issued on 12 September 2014 by Latvijas Pasts. It depicts Ainažu Lighthouse which is located on the Gulf of Riga near the town of Ainaži. Also shown is the inactive Anaži Breakwater lantern. It was formerly the rear light of a range but the front range light was discontinued, hence the orange vertical stripe on the tower. This is the latest in a series of lighthouse stamps issued by Latvia and the first one since 2010. According to Latvijas Pasts we can expect the next lighthouse issue on 21 August 2015.
