Another instance where the original post was uninspired. I think this edit is a big improvement.

Te Mata Peak, located in the Hawke's Bay region of New Zealand, is a stunning natural landmark rising to 399 meters above sea level. It's part of the Te Mata Hills and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscapes, including the Heretaunga Plains, Tukituki Valley, and even Mount Ruapehu on clear days.
The peak is steeped in Māori legend. It's said that the silhouette of the peak resembles a giant lying down, known as Rongokako, an ancestor of the Ngāti Kahungunu tribe. The story tells of his love for Hinerakau, a chief's daughter, and his tragic demise while attempting impossible tasks to prove his devotion.
Visitors can hike, bike, or drive to the summit, enjoying panoramic views and exploring trails through forests and limestone valleys. The area is also popular for activities like hang gliding, paragliding, and mountain biking

Whyte Islet is a very small island on the shore of Howe Sound. People hike across the rocks to climb upon this hidden West Vancouver gem. Being aware of the changing tide is very important....the rocky path leading from the beach can quickly disappear when the tide comes in. Many people have been left stranded high and dry on this cute little island.
The waterline indicates the water depth reached as the tide changes

Whytecliff Park is located near West Vancouver's Horseshoe Bay Neighbourhood, the original name of which was White Cliff City, which opened in 1909. In 1914, Colonel Albert Whyte pressed for the spelling change from White Cliff City to Whytecliff. The Whytecliff area is now distinct from Horseshoe Bay. The park, originally Rockcliffe Park, was developed by W.W. Boultbee in 1926, and a private access road was cut from the Marine Drive highway at Batchelor Bay.
The fifty acre Boultbee estate was purchased by the Union Steamship Company in 1939 and the company operated a Bowen Island Ferry from Whytecliff during 1939-41 and 1946-1952
The park is currently home to more than 200 marine animal species and is the first Marine Protected Area in Canada. Sea lions can be seen sunbathing on the beach during summer.

Among the works produced at Auvers, this very finished drawing is the only one to correspond to the composition of a painting. However, it is not certain that it preceded canvas. The difference between the two can be seen above all in the treatment of the sky, to which Van Gogh gives the dramatic tone of a thunderstorm in the canvas.*
From the exhibition
Van Gogh in Auvers-sur-Oise
(October 2023 to February 2024)
Vincent Van Gogh arrived in Auvers-sur-Oise on May 20th 1890 and died there on July 29th following a suicide attempt. Although the painter only spent a little over two months in Auvers, the period was one of artistic renewal with its own style and development, marked by the psychic tension resulting from his new situation as well as by some of his greatest masterpieces.
Sorely tried by the various crises suffered in Arles and then at the asylum in Saint-Rémy, Van Gogh decided to settle near Paris and his brother Theo in an attempt to find fresh creative energy. The choice of Auvers had much to do with the presence there of Dr Gachet, a physician specializing in the treatment of melancholia who was also a friend of the impressionists, a collector and an amateur painter. Van Gogh moved to the Ragout Inn in the village centre and explored every aspect of the new world in front of him, while struggling with the many anxieties connected with his health, his relationship with his brother, and his place in the art world.
No exhibition has previously been exclusively devoted to this final yet crucial stage in his career. In just two months, the artist produced 74 paintings and 33 drawings, including some iconic works: Portrait of Dr Paul Gachet, The Church at Auvers, and Wheatfield with Crows. Comprising some forty paintings and around twenty drawings, the exhibition will highlight this period thematically: first landscapes featuring the village, portraits, still lifes, and landscapes depicting the surrounding countryside. It will also present a series of paintings in elongated double-square format, unique in Van Gogh’s body of work.

This two cents postage stamp was issued by America in fall 1910 (= Scott Catalogue # 384). It is part of large series of definitives nicknamed "Washington-Franklin Heads" that were printed in the 1900s to 1920s by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Stamps were issued on unwatermarked and watermarked paper. Most were fully perforated (of varying gauges), but some were imperforate or coils. Most were made by flat-plate printing, while others were produced using rotary press printing or offset printing.
