20120704 - NEW ZEALAND

******   UPDATED ******

We have to take a better look at this issue.  Nizam (author of www.nsotw.info) send me today, better images of 2 other stamps of Tiki Tour 2 that contains more lighthouses. Well..., some people (included me) could say that only 1 of those stamps are LH stamp, but lets see...

Stamp 13 in the block

Castle Point Lighthouse
Top-Right corner of the stamp

 Here it is a better image of the lighthouse for reference.

http://www.newlhstamps.blogspot.com.ar/2012/01/20120100-new-zealand.html

Stamp 20 in the block

Well..., what to do with this stamp?   There are 2 featured things in Taiaroa Head.   Royal Albatros and a Lighthouse.  We have the albatros on the front, so the construction in the background have to be the lighthouse.

But the problem is that it doesn´t look like Taiaroa Head Lighthouse.

What is that?  A free interpretation from the artist/designer of the stamp?  

In conclusion:  At this moment I take the stamp N.13 (Castle Point) as a Lighthouse Stamp.  Regarding the N.20, I will continue to look for more information about buildings in that zone,  and of course all the info that you can provide is welcome.

Thanks again Nizam for the images.
