New Zealand - " SCENIC LIGHTHOUSES OF NEW ZEALAND."

Unique ~ MNH Stamp Set with Glow-in-the-Dark Effect !! 

2009 commemorates the 150th anniversary of New Zealand’s first lighthouse (Pencarrow) with five distinctive stamps. 

Each stamp featured a technological ‘landmark’ of its own – lighthouse beams that actually glow in the dark!

In these days of GPS and other sophisticated navigation technology, it’s easy to underestimate the importance of the lighthouse. But today, just as they were 150 years ago, these structures are vital to ensuring the safety of those at sea.

Beaming light across the waves, they guide traders and travellers to sheltered waters – a welcome sight on many a dark and stormy night.

Year: 2009.
