Landscape art. That I can remember, no such form of art graces the horizon in the country that I live in. And this beautiful postcard that Alan was so kind to send me, makes me wonder why. Surely we have the canvas and the frame readily available either in the hills of the North or the plains of the South. Hopefully one day I might buy a postcard with a view as beautiful as the amazing “Waves and Time” by Chris Drury, a whirlpoolish land sculpture that blends perfectly with the soft curves of the slopes of the valley it nestles in, drawing "the lines of flow of the glaciers which once covered the valley" one can read in the artist’s official website.

The nice aviation themed stamp of Tariff E (Europe, up to 20g, international Standard), with a picture of the tail of a Hawker-Siddeley Trident of British European Airways (BEA), one of the airlines amalgamated into the current British Airways (the other, of course, being BOAC - British Overseas Airways Corporation) is part of a 5 stamp set issued in 2002, dedicated to the 50th anniversary of jet travel.
