2554) "Landscapes of Aruba", Aruba: Post Aruba N.V. has issued a set of four postage stamps featuring prominent Landscapes in the island: Date of Stamp set issue: 01.11.2022:
On 01.11.2022, Post Aruba N.V. has issued a new stamp series titled - "Landscapes of Aruba".
Aruba although small, is rich in different types of landscapes.
The four Stamp Set issued by Aruba Post N.V.
The landscape is largely desert like, because the climate is very dry all year round. In the South, the landscape is quite flat with miles of white beaches and the sea is relatively calm there.
The Northern part is more hilly and the sea is rougher there. This turbulent sea on the North coast has ensured the formation of several natural bridges.
Very striking in the landscape of Aruba are the suddenness of giant boulders, originating from volcanic activities. Known are the stone formations at Ayo and Casibari.
The Hooiberg immediately stands out in the flatter part of Aruba. From the top one can have a beautiful view over the island.
The Lighthouse in California (Hudishibana) stands imposingly in the middle of a beautiful landscape bordered by dunes on one side and the turquoise blue sea on the other.
Through the North-East wind, the trees in particular the Watapana and Fofoti are fused to the Southwest.
These trees that grow with the wind direction are very popular and are often used as promotional material for Aruba.
The Aloe plant and the Cactus provide a unique and spectacular unit.
This stamp series has been designed by Elvis Tromp.
