Argentina Lighthouse Stamp January 2023

Posted on March 21, 2023 | Leave a comment

In January 2023, Argentina released a stamp showing an old friend, Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse located near the southernmost city in the world, Ushuaia, Argentina. I was fortunate to visit Ushuaia in February 2023 and took a boat tour to the lighthouse. That was one of the highlights of my trip.

2022 Aruba Lighthouse Stamp

Posted on January 28, 2023 | Leave a comment

On 1 Nov 2022 Aruba issued a set of four stamps titled “Landscapes of Aruba”. One of these stamps shows a nice picture of Nordwestpunt Lighthouse, also called California Lighthouse. It got the California name as a result of a ship of that name that wrecked near the lighthouse prior to the light being built in 1916.
