2012 PDF File Available

Hello Friends.
It is available now the 2012 PDF File with the issues of that year. The file is free and you can download it from here:

http://www.mediafire.com/view/?pm2rz58l2z3yga8

It´s a free hosting service. If you have any problem to download the file from there, you can send me a mail and I will send you a copy. Just put in the subjet "2012 File". No need to write something else.

 

About some questions regarding the cover... It´s not a digital work.  It is a scan of real stamps of my collection at the time of publishing this file.  If some issue is missing, is because I do not have that stamp yet.

 

I hope that this will be useful to you.

We keep in touch.

Carlos.

2013 - France

This is not confirmed yet.

This is a POSSIBLE Lighthouse issue

Release Date: April 29, 2013

Title: Impressionism - Theme: The Water

Format: Booklet

 

 

 

Why is under watch?:  One of the stamps and the cover of the booklet is dedicated to Louis Boudin and his painting "La Jetée de Deauville".   The object inside the lines could be the Trouville East Jetty light. 

 

The painting is from 1869,  so this could be the original East Jetty,  because both lights that exists today are from 1875.  6 years after that the painting was made.

 

Searching for information that confirm this.

SPECIAL MENTIONS

Germany and Estonia

These two Postal Administrations are running the serie Lighthouses for several years now. Maybe a sense of continuity and familiarity with the design of the stamps affects the way that we appreciate (or not appreciate) these issues year after year.

But the truth is that they are wonderful stamps, more when you look at them together.  This 2012 Special Mention, is for Deutsche Post and Eesti Post because they bring us two fantastic groups of Lighthouse Stamps.

GERMANY   -  Since  2004
Design: Prof. Johannes Graf, Dortmund



ESTONIA - Since 1995

Thanks for your opinions and contacts.   Until 2013, and...

 

¡ FELIZ AÑO NUEVO !

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!

Welcome 2013

Hello:

Little activity in these last two months of 2012.  Zero releases in November, and apparently very little chances of new issues in December (only India and some other surprise from another country can reverse this).

So, it is time to look at the near future.  This week I will post issues confirmed for 2013. And the next weeks I will post issues "under watch".  Stamps with posibilities of lighthouse presence.

Also, on December 30, the best lighthouse issue from 2012 will be decided.  I already have some votes, and they went to these issues

-Minor Lighthouses of Isle of Man
-Croatia
-Cape Reinga - New Zealand Definitive Stamp
-Norway
-Suriname

Do you have a favorite from this list or not listed here?  Send me your opinion to my mail or make a  comment in this post.

We keep in touch
Carlos.
