Norway Post - Northern Lights

Yet again another Norwegian Stamp, but sorry !!!! 

Stamps are always referred to reflect history, sometimes a bit of geography too. One such example is this beautiful personalised stamp of Northern lights pictured above Bleikøya in Andøy, Norway. Aurora tourism in Norway has become a huge hit as Travel, Photography magazines and on-line photography communities are flooded with articles. One such article indicates that the tourism in Norway has doubled that too in winter and the reason cited as experiencing Northern Lights. A popular TV show named "Jakten på Nordlyset” ( Hunting Northern Lights ) is another factor related to this huge increase.

But here all the credit goes to Norway post for this release at a time when I was starving for one. Being released on 16th May 2014, the release was so generous in the sense it had varieties such as single set ( Pic # 1 ) ,  Golden FDC ( Pic # 2 ) which is called as "Rolls Royce of First Day Covers, FDC - First day covers ( Pic # 3 ) , Maximum card ( Pic # 4 ), 4/8 block, Collectors Sheet, Sheet with 20 stamps, Presentation pack 4/8 block. One of the key things I was hugely impressed is the design of the first day cover seal. Photo Credit goes to Roy Samuelsen. 

Already in possession of this beautiful stamp, now with a huge sigh I add this to my bucket list. what are you waiting for ?
